Moving Target Detection Algorithm Based on Susan Edge Detection and Frame Difference

Through the analysis of common moving target detecting algorithms, this paper proposes a moving target detecting algorithm based on Susan edge detection and frame difference. It detects the edge information of current frame image by Susan operator, then taking a differential operation between the current frame and the next frame image to get the outline of moving target. Finally, it extracts the target by using an and operation with two parts of information. The experimental results show that this algorithm is simple and effective, making up for the deficiency of a single frame difference method.
