Adaptive Surveillance System using a Camera Network

Abstract

CCTV Surveillance Systems have been used in many places to address security issues. Those systems will store a large amount of activities in every moment and most of the times data is stored in separate places without having integrity. Considering large premises, more cameras and more operators are required to handle the situation. Continuous and careful attention is essential to identify the activities of a large crowd. Moreover, there is no proper mechanism to search and retrieve important information from the videos whenever it is needed. In this paper we introduce a new approach to uniquely address those issues, using different image processing algorithms and inter process communication techniques which were implemented to acquire more reliable and accurate timely information from CCTV records in advance.
