Detecting background and foreground from video in real-time with a moving camera

Abstract: Finding the true movement in video taken by a moving camera is a complex problem, an even more complex problem accrue when this also is to be done in real time and on a low performance computer. Simple algorithms for static camera movement detection was implemented and then improved to cope with moving cameras. Results show that finding movement within a moving image at real time can be done with reasonable outcome and that post-processing can improve the quality of that outcome. This makes it able to detecting movement from moving cameras at real time on rugged laptops, controlling for instance an unmanned aircraft vehicle.
