A moving object detection method in video sequence was proposed, which is c
onsidered a fixed camera model. Firstly, a new method was presented for det
ection of changes of motion. After the change detection, the recursive high
er-order method was used to extract the change from the Gaussian noise. Com
pared with the classical higher-order statistics method, the recursive high
er order statistics method uses the former n images information, so it can
obtain better estimates of HOS to reduce the effect of additive noise and d
etect the small object and perform well on segmentation.
