Abstract
Techniques are provided. The techniques include identifying a region of interest in a video scene, applying a background subtraction algorithm to the region of interest to detect a static foreground object in the region of interest, and determining whether the static foreground object is abandoned or removed, wherein determining whether the static foreground object is abandoned or removed comprises performing a foreground analysis based on edge energy and region growing, and pruning one or more false alarms using one or more track statistics.
