Consider the sequence of three 4 x 4 images given below (Images 1 to 3). In all images, only 3 colors are present:
Black = 0, Gray = 128 and White = 255.

i - Show how median filtering can be used to estimate the static background of the sequence Image 1, Image 2 and
Image 3.

ii - Use the estimated background to detect motion in Image 4 using differential motion analysis with threshold = 50.
