We present a novel approach to the change detection problem based on a coarse-to-fine strategy. The basic idea consists in assigning to an efficient preliminary coarse-level detection the task to filter out the well known possible false changes (e.g., those due to camera noise and small displacements, or to scene illumination changes). This provides the subsequent fine-level detection with reliable supermasks of the true changed areas in the scene. In this way, the fine-level detection can "focus the attention" on limited parts of the frames, thus yielding remarkable advantages in terms of computational efficiency. Here, just a coarse-level detection algorithm based on background subtraction and on the concept of structure is presented, to stress that any pixel-level algorithm can be used afterwards and benefit in terms of robustness as well as of computational efficiency.
