Abstract
A method and system for video-based encroachment detection are provided, the method including receiving first and second images, modeling a background from the first image, subtracting the background from the second image to provide a detection map, calibrating the size of an object from the pixel level, integrating a projection of the object with the detection map using dynamic programming, and detecting the object in a region if the projection matches that region of the detection map; and the system including a processor, a background modeling unit coupled with the processor for modeling a background from the first image and subtracting the background from the second image to provide a detection map, and a dynamic programming unit coupled with the processor for calibrating the size of an object from the pixel level, integrating a projection of the object with the detection map, and detecting the object in a region if the projection matches that region of the detection map.
