Robust Change-Detection by Normalised Gradient-Correlation
R.J. O'Callaghan, Tetsuji Haga · 2007
A novel algorithm for robustly segmenting changes between different images of a scene is presented. This computationally efficient algorithm is based on a non-linear comparison of gradient structure in overlapping image-regions and offers intrinsic invariance to changing illumination, without recourse to background-model adaptation. High accuracy is demonstrated on test video data with and without illumination changes. The technique is applicable to motion-segmentation as well as measuring longer-term object-changes.
