Abstract

We propose a new method for Motion Detection using stationary camera, where the information of different motion detectors which are not robust but light in terms of computation time (what we will call weak motion detector (WMD)) are merged with spatio-temporal Markov Random Field to improve the results. We put the strength, instead of on the weak motion detectors, on the fusion of their information. The main contribution is to show how the MRF can be modeled for obtaining a robust result. Experimental results show the improvement and good performance of the proposed method.
