Abstract: Foreground object detection is a fundamental low level task in current video surveillance systems. It is usually accomplished by keeping a model of the background at each frame pixel. Many background learning algorithms have difficulties to attain real time operation when applied directly to the output of state of the art high resolution surveillance cameras, due to the large number of pixels. Here we propose a strategy to address this problem which consists in maintaining a low resolution model of the background which is upscaled by adaptive super resolution in order to produce a foreground detection mask of the same size as the original input frame. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the suitability of our proposal, in terms of reduction of the computational load and foreground detection accuracy.
