Abstract

In a sequence of images of a scene acquired by a stationary camera, objects are detected and tracked by determining a first set of candidate foreground regions according to a background model. A second set of candidate foreground regions is determined according to a set of foreground models. Then, candidate foreground regions in the first set and the second set are validated to produce a final set of foreground regions in the image that include the objects.
