What is motion detection algorithm?

Motion detection[1] is the process of detecting a change in position of an object relative to its surroundings or the change in the surroundings relative to an object. Any motion detection system that is based on the above mentioned techniques needs to handle a number of critical situations.Click to see full answer. Also know, what does motion detection mean?By Vangie Beal In video surveillance, motion detection refers to the capability of the surveillance system to detect motion and capture the events. Motion detection is usually a software-based monitoring algorithm which, when it detects motions will signal the surveillance camera to begin capturing the event.One may also ask, how do you sense motion? Motion can be detected by: Infrared (passive and active sensors) Optics (video and camera systems) Radio Frequency Energy (radar, microwave and tomographic motion detection) Sound (microphones and acoustic sensors) Vibration (triboelectric, seismic, and inertia-switch sensors) Likewise, how does a motion detector work? Active motion sensors send out a signal. They emit light (for example, a laser), and then if something blocks that light the sensor is triggered. Passive motion sensors pick up infrared signals put off by body heat. If the sensor notices an infrared energy, the motion detector is triggered and an alarm may sound.How does Arlo motion detection work?Arlo Ultra, Pro 3, Video Doorbell, Pro 2, Pro, Go, and Wire-Free trigger when the infrared technology detects an object that is warmer than the surrounding environment. The motion sensor is more sensitive to side-to-side movement across its field of view than to movement directly toward or away from the camera.
