Object detection and tracking for low-cost video surveillance system

Abstract

Abstract Automated and intelligent video surveillance systems play important role in the modern world. Since the amount of various video streams that must be analyzed grows, such artificial intelligence systems can assist humans in performing tiresome tasks. As a result, the effectiveness of response to a dangerous situations is increasing (detect unexpected movement or unusual behavior that may pose a threat to people, property and infrastructure). Video surveillance systems have to meet several requirements: must be accurate and not produce too many false alarms, moreover it must be able to process the received video stream in real-time to provide a sufficient response time. The work presented here focuses on the selected challenges of scene analysis in video surveillance systems (object detection/tracking, effectiveness of the whole system). The aim of the research is to design a low-budget surveillance system, that can be used for example in a home security monitoring. Such solution can be use not only to surveillance but also to monitor elderly person at home or provide new ways of interacting in human-computer interaction systems.
