Change Detection for Area Surveillance Using a Moving Camera

Abstract

This paper tackles area surveillance with a moving camera by change detection. None of the existing datasets for change detection meets a surveillance scenario where a camera is mounted on a moving platform and pointed in the direction of moving. Thus, this paper creates a new dataset including several challenging points. For this dataset, this paper employs a composable method and proposes some components. To evaluate the proposed components, some corresponding classic methods were also tested on the dataset. As a result, the proposals outperformed them. Moreover, this paper investigated the relationship between the parameters of the components and their performance.
