Motion detection of the low-cost surveillance camera system

Abstract

This paper describes an approach to implement the motion detection for a low-cost surveillance camera system. The motion detection is usually implemented by the image segmentation method in industrial applications. However, the image segmentation method needs the additional memory for segmenting and saving an image and longer processing time, which is not suitable for low-cost surveillance camera system in industrial applications. Therefore, this paper suggests the motion detection only utilizing the digital camera processor (DCP). Because the DCP is an essential part of the surveillance camera system, this method does not need the additional cost of memory.
