A filter for filtering out spurious motion from a sequence of video images, for use in video image signal processing to identify objects in motion in the sequence of video images. Spurious motion is chaotic, repetitive, jittering portions of an image that constitute noise and interfere with motion detection in video signals. The filter keeps track of the location and the strengths of spurious motion, applies appropriate low pass filtering strengths according to the spurious motion strengths in real-time. Regular pixels without spurious motion will pass through the filter unaltered, while pixels with spurious motion will be "smoothed" to avoid being detected as noise. |
