Adaptive Change Detection

In this paper we propose a method to detect meaningful changes between two images. By meaningful changes we refer to those due to variations in the visual content of the images, rejecting illumination changes as non-meaningful. The method has been devised in order to assure a low number of wrong detections and it depends on a few parameters. These parameters can be tuned once and for all for any input images, which makes the method virtually automatic.
