Visual Person Searches for Retail Loss Detection: Application and Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a novel computer-vision based system for facilitating the search for people across multiple non-overlapping cameras. The system has been applied in a retail environment for a variety of problems, most specifically for returns fraud prevention. The system detects and tracks people in multiple cameras and enables rapid cross-camera association of tracks. We have created a human-centred application wherein machine-detected events are browsed and associated in a web-based user interface by a loss-prevention specialist. The system has been tested in a real store environment and we develop a variety of performance measures for the task and present results with a breakdown of error types.

Online multiple people tracking-by-detection in crowded scenes
Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...
متن کاملBook chapter for Machine Learning for Human Motion Analysis: Theory and Practice
Visual processing of people, including detection, tracking, recognition, and behavior interpretation, is a key component of intelligent video surveillance systems. Computer vision algorithms with the capability of “looking at people” at multiple scales can be applied in different surveillance scenarios, such as far-field people detection for wide-area perimeter protection, midfield people detec...
متن کاملImproving the RX Anomaly Detection Algorithm for Hyperspectral Images using FFT
Anomaly Detection (AD) has recently become an important application of target detection in hyperspectral images. The Reed-Xialoi (RX) is the most widely used AD algorithm that suffers from “small sample size” problem. The best solution for this problem is to use Dimensionality Reduction (DR) techniques as a pre-processing step for RX detector. Using this method not only improves the detection p...
متن کاملMinimizing Loss of Information at Competitive PLIP Algorithms for Image Segmentation with Noisy Back Ground
In this paper, two training systems for selecting PLIP parameters have been demonstrated. The first compares the MSE of a high precision result to that of a lower precision approximation in order to minimize loss of information. The second uses EMEE scores to maximize visual appeal and further reduce information loss. It was shown that, in the general case of basic addition, subtraction, or mul...
