This paper presents a novel Texture-Edge Descriptor, TED, for background modeling and pedestrian detection in video sequences which models texture and edge information of each image block simultaneously. Each block is modeled as a group of adaptive TED histograms that are calculated for pixels of the block over a rectangular neighborhood. TED is an 8-bit binary code which is independent of the neighborhood size. Experimental results over real-world sequences from PETS database clearly show that TED outperforms LBP.
