ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of identifying objects with salient motion in a scene and program product therefor. A region of change is identified within a scene. Optical flow is determined for the region of change. Pixels moving in a common direction are identified as seed pixels. Seed pixels are expanded to form pixel clusters. Temporal imaging results are fused to identify those objects with salient motion.
