Abstract: Background subtraction approach is used to detect the moving object from background. Different methods have been proposed to detect object motion by using different background subtraction techniques over recent years. Each technique has its own benefits and limitations such as some techniques can only applied for static background and some for dynamic backgrounds. This paper provides review of main methods used to detect foreground object with its merits and demerits. It would help the researchers to select the most appropriate technique according to the application.
