Abstract
A method for segmenting video data into foreground and background (324) portions utilizes statistical modeling of the pixels Λ statistical model of the background is built for each pixel, and each pixel in an incoming video frame is compared (326) with the background statistical model for that pixel. Pixels are determined to be foreground or background based on the comparisons. The method for segmenting video data may be further incorporated into a method for implementing an intelligent video surveillance system The method for segmenting video data may be implemented in hardware.
