We propose a novel method for detection of a moving object in an image sequence. This purpose is achieved by using discrete wavelet transform and extended complex Kalman filter(ECKF) in the transform/spatio-temporal mixed-domain. The moving objects arc considered as arbitrary trajectory signals(ATS). A trajectory signal in mixed-domain is a bunch of l-dimcntional complex signals. And an ATS is a
... [Show full abstract] bunch of quasi-periodic signals with pitch fluctuations in mixed-domain. A parallel bank of ECKFs is employed for the estimation of quasi-periodic signals. In addition, these estimates can be combined with depending on the energy of the subband images. Experimental results show the moving object is detected effectively.
