In automatic video monitoring, real-time detection and in particular shadow elimination are critical to the correct moving objects segmentation since they severely affect the surveillance process. In this paper, we put forward a rapid and flexible approach in which vehicles detection is based on the Gaussian Mixture Model and shadow elimination is based on morphology and edge detection. Experimental results show that the technique achieved promising accuracy.
