Shape representation from image sequences by using binary statistical morphology
Carlo S. Regazzoni, G.L. Foresti, A.N. Venetsanopoulos · 2002
A real-time visual surveillance system is based on three main image processing phases, devoted to extract information about the observed scene: change detection, focus of attention, feature-extraction. In this paper attention is paid to a theory (i.e., binary statistical morphology) which provides a common framework for designing fast and noise-robust methods for the three tasks of interest. The main theoretical novelty is to establish a link between binary statistical morphology and voting methods. An application is presented which deals with intruder detection in a railway-crossing area.>
