In this paper, we present real-time, accurate face region detection and tracking technique for an intelligent surveillance system. It is very important to obtain the high-resolution images, which enables accurate identification of an object-of-interest. Conventional surveillance or security systems, however, usually provide poor image quality because they use one or more fixed cameras and keep recording scenes without any clue. We implemented a real-time surveillance system that tracks a moving person using pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. While tracking, the region-of-interest (ROI) can be obtained by using a low-pass filter and background subtraction. Color information in the ROI is updated to extract features for optimal tracking and zooming. The experiment with real human faces showed highly acceptable results in the sense of both accuracy and computational efficiency.

In this paper, a new background subtraction algorithm for video based fence monitoring surveillance systems is proposed. We adopt the sampling based background subtraction technique and focus on the two main issues: handling highly dynamic environment and handling the flickering nature of pulse based IR (infrared) lamp. Natural scenes from fence monitoring system are usually composed of several dynamic entities such as swaying trees, moving water, waves and rain. To deal with such dynamic backgrounds, we utilize the confidence factor for each background value of the input image. For the flickering IR lamp, the original sampling based technique is extended to handle double background models. Experimental results revealed that our method works well in real fence monitoring surveillance systems.

Background subtraction is the first processing stage in video surveillance. It is a general term for a process which aims to separate foreground objects from a background. The goal is to construct and maintain a statistical representation of the scene that the camera sees. The output of background subtraction will be an input to a higher-level process. Background subtraction under dynamic environment in the video sequences is one such complex task. It is an important research topic in image analysis and computer vision domains. This work deals background modeling based on modified adaptive Gaussian mixture model (GMM) with three temporal differencing (TTD) method in dynamic environment. The results of background subtraction on several sequences in various testing environments show that the proposed method is efficient and robust for the dynamic environment and achieves good accuracy.

We present a scalable object tracking framework, which is capable of removing shadows and tracking the people. The framework consists of background subtraction, fuzzy based shadow removal and boundary tracking algorithm. This work proposes a general-purpose method that combines statistical assumptions with the object-level knowledge of moving objects, apparent objects, and shadows acquired in the processing of the previous frames. Pixels belonging to moving objects and shadows are processed differently in order to supply an object-based selective update. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to track the object boundaries under significant shadows with noise and background clutter.

본 논문에서는 지능형 감시 시스템을 위해 공간적 확률 분포와 방향 서술자를 이용하여 다양한 배회행위를 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 적응적 배경 모델링 기법을 이용하여 움직이는 객체를 검출하고, 검출된 객체로부터 움직임의 정보를 추출한다. 추출된 객체의 움직임 정보는 이동 궤적과 방향에 대해 특징벡터를 생성한다. 생성된 특징벡터는 k-Nearest Neighbor를 통해 최종적으로 배회행위를 검출하게 된다. 제안한 방법을 실내외 다양한 환경에서 테스트하여 배회 행위를 검출하는 결과를 나타내었으며 이는 실시간으로 검출되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose an intelligent method to surveil moving objects and to judge an unusual-behavior by using network cameras. To surveil moving objects, the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm is used to characterize the feature information of objects. To judge unusual-behaviors, the virtual human skeleton is used to extract the feature points of a human in input images. In this procedure, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) improves the accuracy of the feature vector and the fuzzy classifier provides the judgement principle of unusual-behaviors. Finally, the experiment results show the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed method.

본 논문은 조도, 형태, 배경의 변화에 강인한 다중 비디오카메라에서 색 정보를 이용한 보행자 추적에 대하여 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 비디오카메라로부터 입력되는 영상의 색조만을 이용하여 배경영상과 물체가 존재하는 영상에서 차영상 기법과 가산투영 기법을 사용하여 이동물체를 검출한다. 검출된 이동물체 영역의 색조는 0도부터 360도 사이에서 15도씩 24단계로 분할된다. 검출된 이동물체 영역의 색조 분포도를 구한 후, 가장 높은 분포를 갖는 3개의 색조 레벨과 3개의 색조 레벨 사이의 차를 이동물체의 특징파라미터로 사용하였다. 제안된 방법의 유용성을 증명하기 위하여 조도와 형태의 변화가 발생한 보행자 영상과 조도, 형태, 배경의 변화가 발생한 보행자 영상을 이용하여 보행자를 감시한 결과 카메라에서 검출된 특정사람의 색조 분포 레벨과 색조 레벨 사이의 차는 2레벨 이하로 유지함을 보였고, 제안된 특징 파라미터로 특정사람이 자동 추적감시 됨을 확인하였다.

The segmentation of moving object in video sequence is a core technique of intelligent image processing system such as video surveillance, traffic monitoring and human tracking. A typical method to segment a moving region from the background is the background subtraction. The steps of background subtraction involve calculating a reference image, subtracting new frame from reference image and then thresholding the subtracted result. One of famous background modeling is Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Even though the method is known efficient and exact, GMM suffers from a problem that includes false pixels in ROI (region of interest), specifically shadow pixels. These false pixels cause fail of the post-processing tasks such as tracking and object recognition. This paper presents a method for removing false pixels included in ROT. First, we subdivide a ROI by using shape characteristics of detected objects. Then, a method is proposed to classify pixels from using histogram characteristic and comparing difference of energy that converts the color value of pixel into grayscale value, in order to estimate whether the pixels belong to moving object area or shadow area. The method is applied to real video sequence and the performance is verified.

Human detection techniques in outdoor scenes have been studied for a long time to watch suspicious movements or to keep someone from danger. However there are few methods of human detection in overhead or near-field view scenes, while lots of human detection methods in far-field view scenes have been developed. In this paper, a set of five features useful for human detection in overhead view scenes and another set of four useful features in near-field view scenes are suggested. Eight feature-candidates are first extracted by analyzing geometrically varying characteristics of moving objects in samples of video sequences. Then highly contributed features for each view scene to classifying human from other moving objects are selected among them by using a neural network learning technique. Through experiments with hundreds of moving objects, we found that each set of features is very useful for human detection and classification accuracy for overhead view and near-field view scenes was over 90%. The suggested sets of features can be used effectively in a PTZ camera based surveillance system where both the overhead and near-field view scenes appear.

본 논문에서는 움직임 영역의 추적 및 움직임 물체의 추출을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘에서는 카메라의 움직임이 고정되어있는 감시카메라나 비디오폰과 같은, 배경이 고정된 시스템으로 가정하였다. 제안된 움직임 영역검색 알고리즘을 이용하여 움직임부분을 먼저 찾은 후, 움직임영역 안에서 다시 움직임 물체만을 분할하는 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 노이즈에 대해 보다 강인한 특성을 가지며 움직임영역의 추적 및 추출이 효율적으로 수행되었다.
