文摘Many video surveillance applications rely on efficient motion detection. However, the algorithms are usually costly since they compute a background model at every pixel of the frame. This paper shows that, in the case of a planar scene with a fixed calibrated camera, a set of pixels can be selected to compute the background model while ignoring the other pixels for accurate but less costly motion detection. The cali- bration is used to first define a volume of interest in the real world and to project the volume of interest onto the image, and to define a spatial adaptive subsampling of this region of interest with a subsampling density that depends on the camera distance.
