neat! Two ideas:

Starting with a 0-level background will take a long time for
the high values to seep in, you can probably accelerate this by
using a mid-gray background in the first frame, or even better
use a "max" filter for the first few frames (you probably need
to use a pattern function for that).

The filter size (currently constant 15x15) could be frame
dependent so you start out smoothing over a wide area and end
up refining only the details.
