Vigilant

Content-Querying of Video Surveillance Streams

Video-Based Surveillance Systems

Abstract

The VIGILANT concept presented in this paper aims to generate in real-time, a database of tracked scene events richly annotated with low-level chromatic data, 2D and 3D trajectories, as well as object classifications. Rather than generate high-level interpretations online, the creation of a human-oriented graphical user interface will enable untrained security operators to build highly sophisticated queries of complex events and object interactions in typical carpark scenes. We report on how rich annotations may be constructed cheaply directly from tracked event data. In particular, we report on promising classification results. In the last section we briefly present the GUI and demonstrate the complexity of query its is capable of supporting.
