Moving object detection is a fundamental task and extensively used research area in modern world computer vision applications. Background subtraction is one of the widely used and the most efficient technique for it, which generates the initial background using different statistical parameters. Due to the enormous size of the video data, the segmentation process requires considerable amount of memory space and time. To reduce the above shortcomings, we propose a statistical background subtraction based motion segmentation method in a compressed transformed domain employing wavelet. We employ the weighted-mean and weighted-variance based background subtraction operations only on the detailed components of the wavelet transformed frame to reduce the computational complexity. Here, weight for each pixel location is computed using pixel-wise median operation between the successive frames. To detect the foreground objects, we employ adaptive threshold, the value of which is selected based on different statistical parameters. Finally, morphological operation, connected component analysis, and flood-fill algorithm are applied to efficiently and accurately detect the foreground objects. Our method is conceived, implemented, and tested on different real video sequences and experimental results show that the performance of our method is reasonably better compared to few other existing approaches.
