Object Tracking and Detecting Based on Adaptive Background Subtraction

Abstract A tracking algorithm based on adaptive background subtraction about the video detecting and tracking moving objects is presented in this paper. Firstly, we use median filter to achieve the background image of the video and denoise the sequence of video. Then we use adaptive background subtraction algorithm to detect and track the moving objects. Adaptive background updating is also realized in this paper. Finally, we improve the accuracy of tracking through open operation. The simulation results by MATLAB show that the adaptive background subtraction is useful in both detecting and tracking moving objects, and background subtraction algorithm runs more quickly.
