Objective

The aim of this web site is to provide resources such as references (3725 papers), datasets, codes and links to demonstration website for the research on moving target detection. Moving target detection is a very common task required in many applications using different kinds of sensors. Sensors used are either   passive sensors (i.e cameras)  or  active sensors (i.e radars) providing data images. More specifically, passive sensors are cameras in visible spectrum, RGB-D cameras,  IR cameras, multi-spectral cameras, hyper-spectral cameras, light-field cameras and event cameras. Active sensors are SAR, PolSAR, and LiDAR. In addition, the size of the targets can be normal, small or like a point. To take into account these issues, moving target detection methods can be classified into the following categories:

• • Normal moving target detection: It is the case in conventional video surveillance applications most of the time with visible sensors. (3725 papers)

  • Small moving target detection: It is the case in small dim target detection in infrared videos or SAR imaging for military applications. (318 papers)

  • Point moving target detection: It is the case of very small target detection in space or military applications. (35 papers)
