The design of a video surveillance system is directed on automatic identification of events of interest, especially on tracking and classification of moving vehicles or pedestrians. In case of any abnormal activities, an alert should be issued. Normally a video surveillance system combines three phases of data processing: moving object extraction, moving object recognition and tracking, and dec...

When a visual object is briefly flashed, it appears to lag behind another moving object (flash-lag effect; FLE). Previous studies showed that a sudden change to the moving object at the time of the flash presentation would eliminate the FLE. We examined whether the FLE would be eliminated when a sudden color change was embedded in a sequence of color alternations on a moving object. Observers v...

This paper presents the first results obtained from the statistical object tracker developed at Duisburg University for the test data sequence provided by the organizers of the PETS2000 workshop. Our system differs from many other systems in that respect that it does not use any motion information at all for calculating the trajectory of a moving object in an image sequence, resulting in the fa...
