In surveillance system

moving target detection in image sequence is a very significant and difficult problem. The objective of this research was to present a new detection method to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of moving target recognition

and to resolve the difficulties brought by target distortion. The detail theory and algorithm of a new detection method

which was based on the lifting scheme of wavelet and deformable template technique

were described. The multi-scale images were used to improve the target matching efficiency

and the deformable templates were used to tracking the target distortions. The results indicated that the moving objects detected by the new method based on the lifting scheme were more robust than those detected by traditional methods. In addition

the detection speed became more rapid. The results seem to suggest that the new method be with efficiency and accuracy advantages in computer version.
