The Central Research Issue (Pre-competitive):Recognition, Searching and Categorising Spatio-Temporal Events of “Significance” (Smart Content) in Video Data (on- or off-line) • “Zero Motion” Detection • Detecting and searching pre-defined significant events (spatial and temporal) in a known scene • “Abnormal Behaviour” Recognition • Recognition and indexing human activities and temporal signatures in space and over time
Robust Detection and Tracking of Multiple Subjects and their Faces in Real-Time • In Real-Time with limited resources (on PC) • From all different views • Varying lighting, distance and racial colours • Under partial and total occlusion • Multiple subjects of interest • Fault tolerant to missing frames
Behaviour Profiling and Categorisation Tracking human presence Modelling patterns of activities Understanding scene layout Learning behaviour patterns
