Summary: | Background modelling algorithms are widely used to define a part of an image that most time remains stationary in a video.In surveillance tasks, this model helps to recognize those outlier objects in an area under monitoring. Set up a backgroundmodel on mobile platforms (UAVs, intelligent cars, etc.) is a challenging task due camera motion when images are acquired.In this paper, we propose A2Ba, a robust method to support instabilities caused by aerial images fusing different informationabout image motion. We used frame difference as first approximation, then age of pixels is estimated. This latter gives us aninvariability level of a pixel over time. Gradient direction of ages and an adaptive weight are used to reduce impact fromcamera motion on background modelling. We tested A2Ba simulating several conditions that impair aerial image acquisitionsuch as intentional and unintentional camera motion. Experimental results show improved performance compared to baselinealgorithms GMM and KDE.
