Video surveillance is widely deployed for many kinds of monitoring applications in healthcare and assisted living systems. Security and privacy are two promising factors that align the quality and validity of video surveillance systems with the caliber of patient monitoring applications. In this paper, we propose a symmetric key-based security framework for the reactive video surveillance of pa...

Surveillance is the monitoring of the behavior, activities, or other changing information, usually of people for the purpose of influencing, managing, directing, or protecting them. Aerial surveillance is now a day’s very popular for broadcasting, news, shooting or gathering data from air and providing large quantity of video data for many purposes, including search and rescue, military operati...

This paper describes the operation of a demonstrator of the authentication/tamper detection system proposed in [1] for surveillance systems. The demonstrator consists of three parts. The first captures images, calculates and embeds authentication data, then compresses and records the images to hard disk. The second provides means to tamper a selection of recorded images, and the third checks th...

Maritime assets such as ports, harbors, and vessels are vulnerable to a variety of near-shore threats such as small-boat attacks. Currently, such vulnerabilities are addressed predominantly by watchstanders and manual video surveillance, which is manpower intensive. Automatic maritime video surveillance techniques are being introduced to reduce manpower costs, but they have limited functionalit...

This paper articulates the concept of affordances use as the building block of an automated video surveillance system which learns and evolves over time. It grounds its arguments on the basis of a visual attention hardware and affordances.

This paper describes an automatic surveillance system, which performs labeling of events and interactions in an outdoor environment. The system is designed to monitor activities in an open parking lot. It consists of three components an adaptive tracker, an event generator, which maps object tracks onto a set of pre-determined discrete events, and a stochastic parser. The system performs segmen...

Smart video surveillance has become popular, as it is a high-tech solution for public safety, facilities surveillance, and traffic monitoring. Recently, we proposed and developed an Intelligent Video Surveillance Model Based on Human Behaviour Detection and Analysis (IVSM) by applying a novel algorithm and 3 Dimensional (3D) detection techniques. Hence, in this paper, we are presenting an evalu...

Fusion of three-dimensional data from multiple sensors gained momentum, especially in applications pertaining to surveillance, when promising results were obtained in moving object detection. Several approaches to video fusion of visual and infrared data have been proposed in recent literature. They mainly comprise of pixel based methodologies. Surveillance is a major application of video fusio...
