Improved Morphological Method in Motion Detection

This paper describes an algorithm for detecting moving objects in color image sequences acquired with a camera. A continuous video stream of traffic scenes recorded by a stationary camera is processed at various levels by comparing the current video frame with the previous frame. Vehicles and pedestrian are modeled as rectangular patches with certain dynamic behavior. The proposed method is based on the establishment of correspondences between regions and objects, as the objects move through the image sequence. The system successfully extracts moving edges from dynamic images sequences.
