Video analytics system for surveillance videos
Developing an intelligent inspection system that can enhance the public safety is challenging. An efficient video analytics system can help monitor unusual events and mitigate possible damage or loss. This thesis aims to analyze surveillance video data, report abnormal activities and retrieve corresponding video clips. The surveillance video dataset used in this thesis is derived from ALERT Dataset, a collection of surveillance videos at airport security checkpoints.
The video analytics system in this thesis can be thought as a pipelined process. The system takes the surveillance video as input, and passes it through a series of processing such as object detection, multi-object tracking, person-bin association and re-identification. In the end, we can obtain trajectories of passengers and baggage in the surveillance videos. Abnormal events like taking away other's belongings will be detected and trigger the alarm automatically. The system could also retrieve the corresponding video clips based on user-defined query
CIAGAN: Conditional Identity Anonymization Generative Adversarial Networks
The unprecedented increase in the usage of computer vision technology in
society goes hand in hand with an increased concern in data privacy. In many
real-world scenarios like people tracking or action recognition, it is
important to be able to process the data while taking careful consideration in
protecting people's identity. We propose and develop CIAGAN, a model for image
and video anonymization based on conditional generative adversarial networks.
Our model is able to remove the identifying characteristics of faces and bodies
while producing high-quality images and videos that can be used for any
computer vision task, such as detection or tracking. Unlike previous methods,
we have full control over the de-identification (anonymization) procedure,
ensuring both anonymization as well as diversity. We compare our method to
several baselines and achieve state-of-the-art results.Comment: CVPR 202
The Evolution of First Person Vision Methods: A Survey
The emergence of new wearable technologies such as action cameras and
smart-glasses has increased the interest of computer vision scientists in the
First Person perspective. Nowadays, this field is attracting attention and
investments of companies aiming to develop commercial devices with First Person
Vision recording capabilities. Due to this interest, an increasing demand of
methods to process these videos, possibly in real-time, is expected. Current
approaches present a particular combinations of different image features and
quantitative methods to accomplish specific objectives like object detection,
activity recognition, user machine interaction and so on. This paper summarizes
the evolution of the state of the art in First Person Vision video analysis
between 1997 and 2014, highlighting, among others, most commonly used features,
methods, challenges and opportunities within the field.Comment: First Person Vision, Egocentric Vision, Wearable Devices, Smart
