Detecting moving objects in a video sequence is an important problem in many vision-based applications. In particular, detecting moving objects when the camera is moving is a difficult problem. In this study, we propose a symmetric method for detecting moving objects in the presence of a dynamic background. First, a background compensation method is used to detect the proposed region of motion. Next, in order to accurately locate the moving objects, we propose a convolutional neural network-based method called YOLOv3-SOD for detecting all objects in the image, which is lightweight and specifically designed for small objects. Finally, the moving objects are determined by fusing the results obtained by motion detection and object detection. Missed detections are recalled according to the temporal and spatial information in adjacent frames. A dataset is not currently available specifically for moving object detection and recognition, and thus, we have released the MDR105 dataset comprising three classes with 105 videos. Our experiments demonstrated that the proposed algorithm can accurately detect moving objects in various scenarios with good overall performance.
