Possible application is the detection of abandoned and removed objects. In order to classify the blobs, we developed two novel features based on the assumption that the neighborhood of a removed object is fairly continuous. In other words, there is a continuity, in the input frame, ranging from inside the corresponding blob contour to its surrounding region. Conversely, it is usual to find a discontinuity, i.e., edges, surrounding an abandoned object. We combined the two features to provide a reliable classification. In the first feature, we use several local histograms as a measure of similarity instead of previous attempts that used a single one. In the second, we developed an innovative method to quantify the ratio of the blob contour that corresponds to actual edges in the input image. A representative set of experiments shows that the proposed approach can outperform other equivalent techniques published recently. Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA), Praça Mal.
