Motion recording for surveillance camera

Abstract EN

In this paper we present an operational computer vision system for real-time motion detection and recording that can be used in surveillance system.

The system captures a video of a scene and identifies the frames that contains motion and record them in such a way that only the frames that is important to us is recorded and a report is made in the form of a movie is made and can be displayed.

All parts that are captured by the camera are recorded to compare both movies.

This serves as both a proof-of- concept and a verification of other existing algorithms for motion detection.

Motion frames are detected using frame differencing.

The results of the experiments with the system indicate the ability to minimize some of the problems false detection and missed detections (like in a sudden change of light in the scene).

The software part is written in Mat lab language as an M-file and using the Simulink library, the hardware part we used a Pentium 4 computer with a web camera or a laptop integrated camera.
