Abstract

This paper describes a new algorithm to detect moving objects in a dynamic scene based on statistical analysis of the greyscale variations on a sequence of frames which have been taken in a time period. The main goal of the algorithm is to identify changes (e.g. motion) while coping with variations on environmental changing conditions without being necessary to perform a prior training procedure. In this way, we use a pixel level comparison of subsequent frames in order to deal with temporal stability and fast changes. In addition, this method computes the temporal changes in the video sequence by incorporating statistical results and it is less sensitive to noise. The algorithm’s goal is not to detect motion but rather to filter out similar frames in a sequence of frames, thus making it a valuable tool for those who would like to evaluate and analyze visual information obtained from a captured video frames. Finally, experimental results and a performance measure establishing the confidence of the method are presented.
