Automated intruder detection from image sequences using minimum volume sets

We propose a new algorithm based on machine learning techniques for automatic intruder detection in visual surveillance networks. The proposed algorithm is theoretically founded on the concept of Minimum Volume Sets. Through ...

Efficient and effective automated surveillance agents using kernel tricks

Many schemes have been presented over the years to develop automated visual surveillance systems. However, these schemes typically need custom equipment, or involve significant complexity and storage requirements. In this ...

Adaptive algorithms for automated intruder detection in surveillance networks

Many types of automated visual surveillance systems have been presented in the recent literature. Most of the schemes require custom equipment, or involve significant complexity and storage needs. After studying the area ...

Automated surveillance in distributed, visual networks: an empirical comparison of recent algorithms

A number of algorithms have been recently proposed for automatic intruder detection from CCTV images. Past researchers have typically tested these algorithms on centralized networks where all images are transmitted to a ...

RouteFinder: real-time optimum vehicle routing using mobile phone network

Road traffic congestion is a major issue in most mega cities. The traffic jams are often exacerbated by drivers habitually following the same routes. A real-time, optimum vehicle routing system that takes traffic density ...

Taking meredith out of Grey's anatomy: automating hospital ICU emergency signaling

In this paper we propose a new algorithm based on kernel machines for automatic, instantaneous detection of emergencies occurring in a hospital Intensive Care Unit. The proposed algorithm takes as input the multitude of ...

Learning algorithms for anomaly detection from images

Visual surveillance networks are installed in many sensitive places in the present world. Human security officers are required to continuously stare at large numbers of monitors simultaneously, and for lengths of time at ...
