It is important to detect dangerous objects which are intentionally abandoned in public places. Nowadays visual surveillance system is required to enhance the performance in two ways : high resolution and wireless linking ability. In this study the design of visual surveillance system is newly proposed to detect abandoned objects for social security purpose based on wireless high resolution image transmission technology. Also, to enhance PED, PAT performance, the tracking algorithm is included in the previous visual surveillance software scheme. By implementing proposed design scheme on the real wireless high resolution image transmission system, the effectiveness of the overall system is shown with the transmission performance of 4.0 Gbps speed.

In this paper, an intelligent visual surveillance system based on a NIOS II embedded platform is implemented. By this time, embedded based visual surveillance systems were restricted for a special purpose because of high dependence upon hardware. In order to improve the restriction, we implement a flexible embedded platform, which is available for various purpose of applications. For high speed processing of software based programming, we improved performance of the system which is integrated the SOPC type of NIOS II embedded processor and image processing algorithms by using software programming and C2H(The Altera NIOS II C-To-Hardware(C2H) Acceleration Compiler) compiler in the core of the hardware platform. Then, we constructed a server system which globally manage some devices by the NIOS II embedded processor platform, and included the control function on networks to increase efficiency for user. We tested and evaluated our system at the designated region for visual surveillance.

In this paper, we propose an active stereo surveillance system with human-like convergence function. The proposed system uses a bottom-up saliency map model with the human-like selective attention visual function to select an interesting region in each camera. and this system compares the landmarks whether the selective region in each camera finds a same region. If the left and right cameras successfully find a same landmarks, the implemented vision system focuses on the landmark. Using the motor encoder information, we can automatically obtain the depth information and resultantly construct a depth map using the depth information. Computer simulation and experimental results show that the proposed convergence method is very effective to implement the active stereo surveillance system.

This study was conducted to evaluate a visual surveillance system. The advancement of recording technology and network service make it easy to record and transfer the videos. Moreover, progressed recognition technology help to make a distinction each other. Cows show distinguishing behaviors during their estrus period. The mounting is one of the behaviors. The result was different depending on the breed of the cows and the size of the farm. In the case of Korean native cattle, the estrus detection rate was 71.15%, however, dairy cows, the estrus detection rate was 39.38%. At the farms having below 6 modules, the estrus detection rate was 87.41%. On the other hand, at the farms having over 6 modules, the estrus detection rate was 77.78%. With the proper progress, the visual surveillance system can be used to detect heat detection.

Visual surveillance is an active topic recently in Computer Vision. Event detection and recognition is one important and useful application of visual surveillance system. In this paper, we propose a new method to recognize the entering and exiting events based on the human's movement feature and the door's state. Without sensors, the proposed approach is based on novel and simple vision method as a combination of edge detection, motion history image and geometrical characteristic of the human shape. The proposed method includes several applications such as access control in visual surveillance and computer vision fields.

Blob detection is an essential ingredient process in some computer applications such as intelligent visual surveillance. However, previous blob detection algorithms are still computationally heavy so that supporting real-time multi-channel intelligent visual surveillance in a workstation or even one-channel real-time visual surveillance in a embedded system using them turns out prohibitively difficult. In this paper, we propose a fast and precise blob detection algorithm for visual surveillance. Blob detection in visual surveillance goes through several processing steps: foreground mask extraction, foreground mask correction, and connected component labeling. Foreground mask correction necessary for a precise detection is usually accomplished using morphological operations like opening and closing. Morphological operations are computationally expensive and moreover, they are difficult to run in parallel with connected component labeling routine since they need much different processing from what connected component labeling does. In this paper, we first develop a fast and precise foreground mask correction method utilizing on neighbor pixel checking which is also employed in connected component labeling so that the developed foreground mask correction method can be incorporated into connected component labeling routine. Through experiments, it is verified that our proposed blob detection algorithm based on the foreground mask correction method developed in this paper shows better processing speed and more precise blob detection.

In this paper, the algorithm which improve the efficiency of surveillance in spite of the change of light is proposed and confirmed by virtue of the experiments. One of the problems for the implementation of visual surveillance system is the image processing technique to overcome with the variations of illumination lights. Some conventional systems are generally not considered the error due to the change of lights because the system use at indoor. In practical, the factors of bad image can be classified to the ghosts due to the reflection of lights and shadows in a scene. Especially weak images and noises at night are decreased the performance of visual surveillance system. In the paper, the filter which improve the images with some change of illumination lights is designed and the gabor filter is used for recognition and tracking of the moving objects. In the results, the system showed that the recognition and tracking were obtained $92\sim100%$ of recognition rate at daytime, but $80\sim90%$ of nighttime.

This paper describes a robust visual surveillance algorithm under outdoor environment. One of the difficult problems for outdoor is to obtain effective updating process of background images. Because background images generally contain the shadows of buildings, trees, moving clouds and other objects, they are changed by lapse of time and variation of illumination. They provide the lowering of performance for surveillance system under outdoor. In this paper, a robust algorithm for visual surveillance system under outdoor is proposed, which apply the mixture Gaussian filter and color invariant property on pixel level to update background images. In results, it was showed that the moving objects can be detected on various shadows under outdoor.
