Study of Moving Object Detection and Tracking for Video Surveillance

In this paper, we are discussing a video surveillance scenario with real-time moving object detection and tracking. The detection of moving object is important in many tasks, such as video surveillance and moving object tracking. The design of a video surveillance system is directed on automatic identification of events of interest, especially on tracking and classification of moving objects. Normally a video surveillance system combines three phases of data processing: moving object extraction, moving object recognition and tracking, and decisions about actions. The extraction of moving objects, followed by object tracking and recognition, can often be defined in very general terms. This survey paper reviews briefly research works on object detection and tracking in videos. The definition and tasks of object detection and tracking are first described, and the important applications are mentioned.
