We employed Approximate Median Method (AMM) along with the Phase congruency edge detector to develop the background model. The resulting foreground of the proposed model was obtained by applying a logical AND operation between binary maps of the (foreground) of the AMM image and the gradient information of the (Phase congruency edge detector) PC. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is highly accurate while providing a processing speed of 24.8 fps allowing its implementation for real time application. {\^A}{\copyright} 2014 IEEE.}, isbn = {9781479945924}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84907316989&doi=10.1109\%2fISCE.2014.6884288&partnerID=40&md5=385758233b35ff5d4cfb72c0f33f3f2e}, author = {Hassan, M.
