              Abstract
              This paper describes a technique for extracting moving objects from a video image sequence taken by a slowly moving camera as well as a fixed camera The background subtraction method is effective for extracting moving objects from a video But the latest background image should be employed for the subtraction in the mobile camera case and in order not to be influenced by the light intensity change A temporal median technique is proposed in this paper which detects the background at every moment The camera motion is estimated using a local correlation map and the temporal median filter is applied to the common image area among a set of successive image frames to extract the background The technique was applied to the video images obtained at a junction from a handheld camera and those taken at a pedestrians crossing by a camera fixed in a car and successfully detected pedestrians
