Time-varying phenomenon, such as ripples on water, trees waving in the wind and illumination changes, produces false motions, which significantly compromises the performance of an outdoor-surveillance system. In this paper, we propose a corner-based background model to effectively detect moving-objects in challenging dynamic scenes. Specifically, the method follows a three-step process. First, we detect feature points using a Harris corner detector and represent them as SIFT-like descriptors. Second, we dynamically learn a background model and classify each extracted feature as either a background or a foreground feature. Last, a "Lucas-Kanade" feature tracker is integrated into this framework to differentiate motion-consistent foreground objects from background objects with random or repetitive motion. The key insight of our work is that a collection of SIFT-like features can effectively represent the environment and account for variations caused by natural effects with dynamic movements. Features that do not correspond to the background must therefore correspond to foreground moving objects. Our method is computational efficient and works in real-time. Experiments on challenging video clips demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a higher accuracy in detecting the foreground objects than the existing methods.
