Pixel Behaviour Metrics for Dynamic Background Modelling with the Projected Difference Pattern Method

This paper presents a new algorithm for modelling the behaviour of dynamic video. The PDP (Projected Difference Pattern) is designed to perform simple spatiotemporal processing with a strong focus on efficiency of real-time implementation. In its simplest implementation, the algorithm is shown to be suitable for generating dynamic background models, motion characterisation, and motion detection. Sample analyses of test video are presented to support this work.
