CDnet 2014: An Expanded Change Detection Benchmark Dataset

International audience; 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.
