Method and system to characterize video background changes as abandoned or removed objects |
摘要 |
A method and system for analyzing video data in a security system. An analysis compares a current frame to a background model. The analysis system compares the background model to the current frame to identify changed pixel patches. The analysis system uses morphological image processing to generate masks based on the changed pixel patches. Next, the analysis system applies the masks to the background model and the current frames to determine whether the changed pixel patches are characteristic of abandoned or removed objects within the video data. |

1. A method for analyzing video data in a security system, the method comprising:
comparing a background model to at least one frame of the video data to identify at least one patch of changed pixels between the background model and the at least one frame; performing morphological image processing on the at least one patch of changed pixels including erosions and/or dilations to generate masks; extracting edge pixels in the background model and the at least one frame with an edge detection algorithm; summing gradient magnitudes for the edge pixels in the background model with respect to the masks; summing gradient magnitudes for edge pixels in the at least one frame of video data with respect to the masks; and characterizing objects in the video data as abandoned or removed based on a comparison of the sums of gradient magnitudes between the background model and the at least one frame. |
