Effective Moving Object Detection Using Background Subtraction in Stationary Wavelet Domain

Abstract

Moving object detection is a fundamental task on smart CCTV systems, as it provides a focal point for further investigation. In this study, an algorithm for moving object detection in video, which is thresholded using a stationary wavelet transform (SWT), is developed. In the detection steps, the authors perform a background subtraction algorithm; the obtained results are decomposed using discrete stationary wavelet transform 2D, and the coefficients are thresholded using Birge-Massart strategy. This leads to an efficient calculation method and system compared to existing traffic estimation methods.
