Abstract

Background subtraction method based on mixture of Gaussians was employed to detect all regions in a video frame denoting moving objects. Kalman filters were used for establishing relations between the regions and real moving objects in a scene and for tracking them continuously. The objects were represented by rectangles. The objects coupling with adequate regions including the relation of many-to-many was studied experimentally employing Kalman filters. The implemented algorithm provides a part of an advanced audio-video surveillance system for security applications which is described briefly in the paper.
