Overview and Benchmarking of Motion Detection Methods

In this chapter, we provide an overview of the most highly cited motion detection meth-
ods. We identify the most commonly used background models together with their features,
the kind of updating scheme they use, some spatial aggregation models as well as the most
widely used post-processing operations. We also provide an overview of datasets used to
validate motion detection methods. Please note that this literature review is by no means
exhaustive and thus we provide a list of surveys that the reader can rely on for further
details.
