Applying advanced video technology to understand human activity and intent is becoming increasingly important for video surveillance. In this paper, we perform automatic activity recognition by classification of spatial temporal features from video sequence. We propose to incorporate class labels information to find optimal heating time for dimensionality reduction using diffusion via random walks...
There is a clear correlation between the principal areas of current geothermal development and the seismically active boundaries of the moving segments of lithosphere defined by the plate tectonic models of the Earth. The tectonic position of Egypt in the northeastern corner of African continent suggests that the most important areas for geothermal exploration are in the region where a cluster of...
We introduce in this paper a novel method for employing image-based rendering to extend the range of applicability of human motion and gait recognition systems. Much work has been done in the field of human motion and gait recognition, and many interesting methods for detecting and classifying motion have been developed. However, systems that can robustly recognize human behavior in real-world contexts...
We present a novel technique for the detection of thrown objects and other free-flying bodies in video sequences. Our method runs in real-time and was designed to be used as a component in a deployed surveillance system. We detect regions of interesting motion that fit certain size, compactness and speed criteria, and use the expectation maximization algorithm to detect objects on parabolic trajectories...
In this paper, we propose a multi-level shadow identification scheme which is generally applicable without restrictions on the number of light sources, illumination conditions, surface orientations, and object sizes. In the first level, we use a background segmentation technique to identify foreground regions which include moving shadows. In the second step, pixel-based decisions are made by comparing...
We address the problem of automatically learning the layout of a traffic intersection from trajectories of vehicles obtained by a vision tracking system. We present a similarity measure which is suitable for use with spectral clustering in problems that emphasize spatial distinctions between vehicle trajectories. The robustness of the method to small perturbations and its sensitivity to the choice...
We propose a novel method for detecting and estimating the count of people in groups, dense or otherwise, as well as tracking them. Using prior knowledge obtained from the scene and accurate camera calibration, the system learns the parameters required for estimation. This information can then be used to estimate the count of people in the scene, in realtime. There are no constraints on camera placement...
This work presents a method for detecting abandoned objects in real-world conditions. The method presented here addresses the online and real time aspects of such systems, utilizes logic to differentiate between abandoned objects and stationary people, and is robust to temporary occlusion of potential abandoned objects. The capacity to not detect still people as abandoned objects is a major aspect...
