Abstract :
The detection and tracking of people lie at the heart of many current and near-future applications of computer vision. We describe a background subtraction system designed to detect moving objects in a wide variety of conditions, and a second system to detect objects moving in front of moving backgrounds. Detected foreground regions are tracked with a tracking system which can initiate real-time alarms and generate a smart surveillance index which can be searched to find interesting events in stored video
