Ghost Detection and Removal Method Based on Edge Histogram Contrast

In intelligent video surveillance system, moving target detection and follow-up moving target tracking, due to the existence of ghost, will be affected. Therefore, this paper proposes a ghost detection and removal method based on edge histogram contrast. The ghost can be rapidly and effectively detected and removed by this method. Meanwhile, it is able to overcome the difficulty of ghost detection in regions with crowded moving targets. It is also beneficial to background update and follow-up target tracking and identification.
