Abstract
The invention relates to a method for regenerating the background of digital images of a video stream comprising steps consisting in: —setting an initial background image, —cutting the unit images of the video stream into blocks b (i, j, t) and of the background image into corresponding blocks Bo (i, j, t). The method is essentially characterized in that it further includes steps consisting in: —selecting one block Bo of the background image and/or b of the frame image, and •calculating the space correlation thereof, with: •at least one block Bo of the background image at a time (t), and/or at another time (t−a), and/or •at least one block b of the frame image at a time (t), and/or at another time (t−a), and/or—updating the background image according to the calculation of the space correlation.
