In this paper we present a framework that is able to reliably and completely autonomously detect abnormal behavior in surveillance images. As input, we rely solely on a long-wave infrared (LWIR) image sensor. Our abnormal behavior detection pipeline consists of two consecutive stages. In a first stage, we perform efficient and fast pedestrian detection and tracking. In a second step, the detected...
We perform fast vehicle detection from traffic surveillance cameras. A novel deep learning framework, namely Evolving Boxes, is developed that proposes and refines the object boxes under different feature representations. Specifically, our framework is embedded with a light-weight proposal network to generate initial anchor boxes as well as to early discard unlikely regions; a fine-turning network...
Our objective is to count objects using a single frame from a surveillance camera. We focus on the area where individual object detectors fail, mostly due to clutter, occlusion, or variations in scene due to perspective change. For tackling the counting problem, first the object density is estimated by using ridge regression. Object counts are then estimated by integrating the density over the region...
Here, evaluate the abasement in execution of well known and effective face detector when human captured picture quality is corrupted by additive gaussian noise and blur. It is observed that, inside a specific scope of recognized picture quality, an adequate increase in picture quality can improve face detection performance. These results can be utilized to guide data transfer capacity which regards...
Practical surveillance systems deployed in urban scenarios need to operate 24/7 under a wide range of environmental conditions. As modern video analytics shift from blob-based to object-centered architectures, appearance-based object detection under different weather conditions and lighting effects emerges as a critical yet largely unaddressed problem. This paper investigates this research topic,...
While a large number of surveillance cameras available nowadays provide a safe environment, the huge amount of data generated by them prevents a manual processing, requiring the application of automated methods to understand the scene. However, the majority of the currently available methods are still unable to process this amount of data in real time, mainly those focusing on pedestrian detection...
We present a novel approach to automatically create efficient and accurate object detectors tailored to work well on specific video surveillance cameras (specific-domain detectors), using samples acquired with the help of a more expensive, general-domain detector (trained using images from multiple cameras). Our method requires no manual labels from the target domain. We automatically collect training...
We address the problem of learning robust and efficient multi-view object detectors for surveillance video indexing and retrieval. Our philosophy is that effective solutions for this problem can be obtained by learning detectors from huge amounts of training data. Along this research direction, we propose a novel approach that consists of strategically partitioning the training set and learning a...
We propose a novel approach for view-invariant vehicle detection in traffic surveillance videos. Instead of building a monolithic object detector that can model all possible viewpoints, we learn a large array of efficient view-specific models corresponding to different camera views (source domains). When presented with an unseen viewpoint (target domain), closely related models in the source domain...
Detecting foreground objects for night surveillance videos remains a challenging problem in scene understanding. Though many efforts have been made for robust background subtraction and robust object detection respectively, the complex illumination condition in night scenes makes it hard to solve each of these tasks individually. In practice, we see these two tasks are coupled and can be combined...
This paper proposes an unsupervised method for real time detection of abnormal events in the context of audio surveillance. Based on training a One-Class Support Vector Machine (OC-SVM) to model the distribution of the normality (ambience), we propose to construct sets of decision functions. This modification allows controlling the trade-off between false-alarm and miss probabilities without modifying...
The main contribution of this paper is a new people detection algorithm based on motion information. The algorithm builds a people motion model based on the Implicit Shape Model (ISM) Framework and the MoSIFT descriptor. We also propose a detection system that integrates appearance, motion and tracking information. Experimental results over sequences extracted from the TRECVID dataset show that our...
We present a novel approach for vehicle detection in urban surveillance videos, capable of handling unstructured and crowded environments with large occlusions, different vehicle shapes, and environmental conditions such as lighting changes, rain, shadows, and reflections. This is achieved with virtually no manual labeling efforts. The system runs quite efficiently at an average of 66Hz on a conventional...
In automated video analysis, the performance of the detection stage is integral to the performance of subsequent stages such as tracking and behavior recognition. In this paper, we propose a method to boost the speed and accuracy of Wu and Nevatia's edgelet based detectors, by incorporating motion information to isolate active regions before actually performing detection. Experimental results show...
A novel approach for detecting anomaly in visual surveillance system is proposed in this paper. It is composed of three parts:(a) a dense motion field and motion statistics method, (b) one-class SVM for one-class classification, (c) motion directional PCA for feature dimensionality reduction. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed algorithm in detecting abnormal events in surveillance...
In this paper, we study the use of facial appearance features for the re-identification of persons using distributed camera networks in a realistic surveillance scenario. In contrast to features commonly used for person reidentification, such as whole body appearance, facial features offer the advantage of remaining stable over much larger intervals of time. The challenge in using faces for such applications,...
Face detection is becoming popular in surveillance applications; however, the need of enormous size face/non-face dataset, large number of features, and long training time are persistent problems. This paper claims that only a subset of the total number of features conserves the major power to detect faces; hence, this subset is capable to detect faces with high detection rate. The proposed detector...
Support Vector Machines (SVM) have several tuning parameters such as the kernel function type. This work proposes to develop an algorithm to calibrate the SVM automatically for detecting disease outbreaks based on Telehealth data. Two sets of simulated data are generated based on real Telehealth calls and an outbreak profile. The Telehealth data is related to respiratory disease syndrome. The outbreak...
Object detection is a critical step in automated surveillance. A common approach to constructing object detectors consists of annotating large datasets and using them to train the detectors. However, due to inevitable limitations of a typical training data set, such supervised approach is unsuitable for building generic surveillance systems applicable to a wide variety of scenes and camera setups...
Automatic detection of persons is an important application in visual surveillance. In general, state-of-the-art systems have two main disadvantages: First, usually a general detector has to be learned that is applicable to a wide range of scenes. Thus, the training is time-consuming and requires a huge amount of labeled data. Second, the data is usually processed centralized, which leads to a huge...
