EVENTI. Seminar announcement.
Title: An umbrella talk on recent video surveillance projects for people tracking, activity recognition and object classification.
Abstract: Automated video surveillance has gained momentum in recent years as the key technology for monitoring security and safety of wide areas such as train stations, shopping centres, car parks and others. The events of interest that can be detected in real time include intrusions, border trespassing, abandoning of dangerous objects, carrying-out of harmful or risky activities, and many others. However, the actual application of this technology is challenged by the diverse and variable operating conditions at the sites, and research progress is still much in need. This umbrella talk will present a pool of projects being carried out at University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), to forward the state of this art, namely: a) people tracking in camera networks with view gaps b) people tracking over crowded areas c) non-parametric models for activity recognition and d) feature sets and dimensionality reduction techniques for surveillance object.
