Abstract. It is possible to improve the characteristics of the algorithms of detection and tracking of moving objects by means of excluding of shadowed areas from detected areas. The results of experimental measurement of characteristics of the shadow detection algorithms are given. The algorithms of correction of borders of rectangles which surround detected objects are described.

Keywords: object detection, object tracking, shadow detection.
