Abstract

The detection of basic events such as turning points in object trajectories is an important low-level task of image sequence analysis. We propose extending the SUSAN algorithm to the spatio-temporal domain for a context-free detection of salient events, which can be used as a starting point for further motion analysis. While in the static 2Dcase SUSAN returns a map indicating edges and corners, we obtain in a straight forward extension of SUSAN a 2D+1D saliency map indicating edges and corners in both space and time. Since the mixture of spatial and temporal structures is still unsatisfying, we propose a modification better suited for event analysis.
