Salient Motion Detection:

We have developed an algorithm to detect salient motion in complex environments. The effectiveness of  algorithm to robust ly detect salient motion is demonstrated for a variety of real environments with unimportant motions due to  lighting changes, swaying branches, flowing or rippling water,  and camera shaking or vibration. The details can be found at paper [1]. All demo videos are in MPEG1 format.
