This paper presents an efficient region-based motion segmentation method for segmenting of moving objects in a traffic scene with a focus on a Video Monitoring System (VMS). The presented method consists of two phases: motion detection and motion segmentation. Using the adaptive thresholding technique, the differences between two consecutive frames are analyzed to detect the movements of objects in a scene. To segment the detected regions into meaningful objects which have the similar intensity and motion information, the regions are initially segmented using a k-means clustering algorithm and then, the neighboring regions with the similar motion information are merged. Since we deal with not the whole image, but the detected regions in the segmentation phase, the computational cost is reduced dramatically. Experimental results demonstrate robustness in the occlusions among multiple moving objects and the change in environmental conditions as well.

Content security and privacy protection are important issues in emerging network-based video surveillance applications. Especially, satisfying both real-time constraint and energy efficiency with embedded system-based video sensors is challenging since the battery-operated sensors need to compress and protect video content in real-time. In this paper, we propose a multicore-based solution to compress and protect video surveillance data, and evaluate the effectiveness of the solution in terms of both real-time constraint and energy efficiency. Based on the experimental results with MPEG2/AES software, we confirm that the multicore-based solution can improve the energy efficiency of a singlecore-based solution by a factor of 30 under the real-time constraint.

The video surveillance system is adopted in many places due to its efficiency and constancy in monitoring a specific area over a long period of time. However, many surveillance systems composed of a single static camera often produce unsatisfactory results due to their lack of field of view. In this paper, we present a video surveillance system based on wide baseline stereo cameras to overcome the limitation. We adopt the codebook algorithm and mathematical morphology to robustly model the foreground pixels of the moving object in the scene and calculate the trajectory of the moving object via 3D reconstruction. The experimental results show that the proposed system detects a moving object and generates a top view trajectory successfully to track the location of the object in the world coordinates.

It is essential to support the image and video analysis technology such as motion detection since the DVR and NVR storage were adopted in the real time visual surveillance system. Especially the network camera would be popular as a video input device. The traditional CCTV that supports analog video data get be replaced by the network camera. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of video surveillance system that provides the real time motion detection by the video storage server. The mobile application also has been implemented in order to provides the retrieval functionality of image analysis results. We develop the video analysis server with open source library OpenCV and implement the daemon process for video input processing and real-time image analysis in our video surveillance system.

The security issue in urban transit system has been widely considered as the common matters. The safe urban transit system is highly demanded because of the vast number of daily passengers, and providing safety is one of the most challenging projects. We introduced a test model for integrated security system for urban transit system and built it at a subway station to demonstrate its performance. This system consists of cameras, sensor network and central monitoring software. We described the smart camera functionality in more detail. The proposed smart camera includes the moving objects recognition module, video analytics, video encoder and server module that transmits video and audio information. We demonstrated the system's excellent performance.

This paper presents the moving objects segmentation algorithms from the sequence images in the stationary backgrounds such as surveillance camera and video phone and so on. In this paper, the moving object area is extracted with proposed object searching algorithm and then moving object is segmented within the moving object area. Also the proposed algorithms have the robustness against noise problems and results show the proposed algorithm is able to efficiently segment and track the moving object area.

In this paper, we propose the method of fire detection. A wide distribution of CCTV cameras (Closed Circuit Television) in many public areas can be used not only for video surveillance systems but also for detecting fire occurrence. A proposed approach is based on visual information through a static camera. Video sequences are analyzed to find fire candidates and then spatial analyses procedure for detected fire-like color foreground is carried out. From the simulation results, our method showed the best performance when spatial and temporal fire candidates changes rapidly and close to fire motion.

감시, 인지, 보안 시스템으로부터 얻은 비디오 영상에서 원하는 객체를 탐지해 내는 것은 매우 중요하다. 객체 추출 방법은 여러 가지가 있지만 가장 많이 쓰이는 방법이 배경을 이용하는 방법이다. 이때 실외 환경에 설치된 카메라의 경우 날씨, 시간에 따른 태양의 밝기등과 영상 내의 객체의 변화 량에 따라서 효율적으로 적응할 수 배경 추출 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 빠르고 정확하게 배경을 얻기 위한 기본적인 방법인 평균값과 최빈값을 이용한 방법을 혼합하여 영상의 변화 량에 따른 빠르고 정확한 배경을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.

컴퓨터 비전 기술을 이용한 효과적인 객체 추적 기술은 인공 시각, 컴퓨터와 인간의 상호작용(HCI), 영상 기반 제어 장치, 감시 시스템 등 다양한 분야의 응용에 있어 중요한 연구 과제이다. 특히 최근 들어 초고속 통신망의 보급으로 인해 인터넷 방송과 같은 실시간 동영상 전송 기술이 가능해 짐에 따라 단순한 텍스트와 정지영상을 제공하는 하이퍼텍스트 환경에서 사운드를 포함하는 동영상 데이터를 제공하는 하이퍼미디어 환경으로 변하고 있다. 이러한 하이퍼미디어 환경에서의 객체 추적은 객체 단위의 링크가 가능한 하이퍼비디오 구현에 있어서 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 동영상 데이터 상의 객체를 효과적으로 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.

달에 떨어지는 유성체(lunar meteoroid)는 그대로 표면에 충돌하여 섬광(flash)을 일으킨다. 이 현상은 매우 희미하고 순간적이지만 고감도 비디오카메라를 이용하면 지상 관측이 가능하다고 알려져 있다. 2013년 10월에 발사된 NASA의 Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer(LADEE)가 달 주위의 대기 및 먼지 환경을 측정하고 있는 동안 전 세계 지상관측 네트워크도 달 표면 충돌 감시 관측을 수행 중에 있다. 충남대학교에서도 LADEE 미션 시작인 10월부터 16인치 망원경에 고감도 비디오카메라를 장착한 시스템을 구성하여 매달 초승부터 상현까지 관측을 진행해왔다. 관측은 달 표면의 어두운 영역을 초당 30프레임으로 녹화하였으며, NASA에서 제공한 LunarScan 소프트웨어를 사용하여 섬광을 찾는 분석 작업을 수행하였다. 현재까지 약 70시간 동안 관측하고 분석하여 충돌 섬광 후보를 발견하였다. 본 발표에서 달 충돌 섬광 관측시스템에 대해 소개하고, 관측된 충돌 섬광 후보의 분석 결과를 제시할 것이다.
