Automated Alarm Based on Intelligent Visual Analysis

Abstract

Abnormal event detection and automated alarm are the important tasks in visual surveillance applications. In this paper, a novel automated alarm method based on intelligent visual analysis is proposed for alarm of abandoned objects and virtual cordon protection. Firstly the monitoring regions and cordons position are set artificially in the surveillance background scenes. The forground motion regions are segmented based on background subtraction model, and then are clustered by connected component analysis. After motion region segmentation and cluster, object tracking based on discriminative appearance model for monocular multi-target tracking is utilized. According to the motion segmentation and tracking results, alarm is triggered in comparison with the monitoring regions and cordons position. Experimental results show that the proposed automated alarm algorithms are sufficient to detect the abnormal events for alarm of abandoned objects and virtual cordon protection.
