Technology has reached a stage where mounting cameras to capture video imagery is cheap, but finding available human resources to sit and watch that imagery is expensive. Surveillance cameras are already prevalent in commercial establishments, with camera out

8、nment is a difficult task. The role of VSAM video understanding technology in achieving this goal is to automatically “parse” people and vehicles from raw video, determine their geolocations, and insert them into dynamic scene visualization. We have developed robust routines for detecting and tracki

9、ng moving objects. Detected objects are classified into semantic categories such as human, human group, car, and truck using shape and color analysis, and these labels are used to improve tracking using temporal consistency constraints. Further classification of human activity, such as walking and r

10、unning, has also been achieved. Geolocations of labeled entities are determined from their image coordinates using either wide-baseline stereo from two or more overlapping camera views, or intersection of viewing rays with a terrain model from monocular views. These computed locations feed into a hi

All resulting object hypotheses from all sensors are transmitted as symbolic data packets back to a central operator control unit, where they a

12、re displayed on a graphical user interface to give a broad overview of scene activities. These technologies have been demonstrated through a series of yearly demos, using a testbed system developed on the urban campus of CMU.Detection of moving objects in video streams is known to be a significant,

13、and difficult, research problem. Aside from the intrinsic usefulness of being able to segment video streams into moving and background components, detecting moving blobs provides a focus of attention for recognition, classification, and activity analysis, making these later processes more efficient

14、since only “moving” pixels need be considered.There are three conventional approaches to moving object detection: temporal differencing ; background subtraction; and optical flow. Temporal differencing is very adaptive to dynamic environments, but generally does a poor job of extracting all relevant

15、 feature pixels. Background subtraction provides the most complete feature data, but is extremely sensitive to dynamic scene changes due to lighting and extraneous events. Optical flow can be used to detect independently moving objects in the presence of camera motion; however, most optical flow com

16、putation methods are computationally complex, and cannot be applied to full-frame video streams in real-time without specialized hardware.Under the VSAM program, CMU has developed and implemented three methods for moving object detection on the VSAM testbed. The first is a combination of adaptive ba

17、ckground subtraction and three-frame differencing . This hybrid algorithm is very fast, and surprisingly effective indeed, it is the primary algorithm used by the majority of the SPUs in the VSAM system. In addition, two new prototype algorithms have been developed to address shortcomings of this st

18、andard approach. First, a mechanism for maintaining temporal object layers is developed to allow greater disambiguation of moving objects that stop for a while, are occluded by other objects, and that then resume motion. One limitation that affects both this method and the standard algorithm is that

19、 they only work for static cameras, or in a ”stepand stare” mode for pan-tilt cameras. To overcome this limitation, a second extension has beendeveloped to allow background subtraction from a continuously panning and tilting camera . Through clever accumulation of image evidence, this algorithm can

20、be implemented in real-time on a conventional PC platform. A fourth approach to moving object detection from a moving airborne platform has also been developed, under a subcontract to the Sarnoff Corporation. This approach is based on image stabilization using special video processing hardware.The c

Impetus for this evolution was provided by a series of yearly demonstrations. The following tables provide a succinct synopsis of the progress made during the last t

Although the program is over now, the VSAM IFD testbed continues to provide a valuable resource for the development and testing of new video understanding

Future work will be directed towards achieving the following goals:1. better understanding of human motion, including segmentation and tracking of articulated body parts;2.improved data logging and retrieval mechanisms to support 24/7 system operations;3.bootstrapping functional site m

26、研究课题。随着科技的发展，安装摄像头捕捉视频图像已经非常廉价，但是通过人为监视图像的成本则非常高昂。监视摄像头已经在商业机构中普遍存在，与相机输出记录到磁带或者定期重写或者存储在录像档案。在犯罪发生后-比如商店被窃或汽车被盗后，再查看当时录像，往往为时已晚。尽管避免犯罪还有许多其他的选择，但现在需要的是连续24小时的监测和分析数据，由视频监控系统提醒保安人员，及时发现正在进行的盗窃案，或游荡在停车场的可疑人员。在城市或战场环境中追踪人员、车辆是一项艰巨的任务。VSAM视频解析技术视频，确定其geolocations，并插入到动态场景可视化。我们已经开发强有力的例程为发现和跟踪移动的物体。被测物

29、据VSAM计划，债务工具中央结算系统制定并实施了三种方法的运动目标检测的VSAM试验。首先是结合自适应背景减除与三帧差分。这种混合算法是非常快，令人惊讶的有效的-事实上，它是主要的算法所使用的大多数SPUs在VSAM系统。此外，两个新的原型已经开发的算法来解决这一缺陷的标准办法。首先，一个机制，保持颞对象层次开发，使更多的歧义的移动物体，可以有效地阻止了一会儿，是闭塞的其他物体，而且然后恢复动议。一个限制，影响到该方法和标准算法是他们唯一的工作静态相机，或在“ stepand凝视”模式泛倾斜相机。为了克服这一局限，第二次延长了beendeveloped让背景减法从不断平移和倾斜相机。通过巧妙的
