Video Content Analysis in the Urban Area Telemonitoring System

  • Chapter
Multimedia Services in Intelligent Environments

Part of the book series: Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies ((SIST,volume 3))

Abstract

The task of constant monitoring of video streams from a large number of cameras and reviewing the recordings in order to find a specified event requires a considerable amount of time and effort from the system operators and it is prone to errors. A solution to this problem is an automatic system for constant analysis of camera images being able to raise an alarm if a predefined event is detected.
