CDnet 2014: An Expanded Change Detection Benchmark Dataset

Abstract : Change detection is one of the most important low-level tasks in video analytics. In 2012, we introduced the changedetection.net (CDnet) benchmark, a video dataset devoted to the evalaution of change and motion detection approaches. Here, we present the latest release of the CDnet dataset, which includes 22 additional videos (~70,000 pixel-wise annotated frames) spanning 5 new categories that incorporate challenges encountered in many surveillance settings. We describe these categories in detail and provide an overview of the results of more than a dozen methods submitted to the IEEE Change Detection Workshop 2014. We highlight strengths and weaknesses of these methods and identify remaining issues in change detection.
