To increase the robustness of detection in intelligent video surveillance systems, homography has been widely used to fuse foreground regions projected from multiple camera views to a reference view. However, the intersections of non-corresponding foreground regions can cause phantoms. This paper proposes an algorithm based on geometry and colour cues to cope with this problem, in which the homography between different camera views and the Mahalanobis distance between the colour distributions of every two associated foreground regions are considered. The integration of these two matching algorithms improves the robustness of the pedestrian and phantom classification. Experiments on real-world video sequences have shown the robustness of this algorithm
