Abstract Pedestrian detection and tracking are vital elements of today’s surveillance systems, which make daily life safe for humans. Thus, human detection and visualization have become essential inventions in the field of computer vision. Hence, developing a surveillance system with multiple object recognition and tracking, especially in low light and night-time, is still challenging. Therefore, we propose a novel system based on machine learning and image processing to provide an efficient surveillance system for pedestrian detection and tracking at night. In particular, we propose a system that tackles a two-fold problem by detecting multiple pedestrians in infrared (IR) images using machine… More >

Abstract For intelligent surveillance videos, anomaly detection is extremely important. Deep learning algorithms have been popular for evaluating real-time surveillance recordings, like traffic accidents, and criminal or unlawful incidents such as suicide attempts. Nevertheless, Deep learning methods for classification, like convolutional neural networks, necessitate a lot of computing power. Quantum computing is a branch of technology that solves abnormal and complex problems using quantum mechanics. As a result, the focus of this research is on developing a hybrid quantum computing model which is based on deep learning. This research develops a Quantum Computing-based Convolutional Neural Network (QC-CNN) to extract features and… More >

Abstract To prevent economic, social, and ecological damage, fire detection and management at an early stage are significant yet challenging. Although computationally complex networks have been developed, attention has been largely focused on improving accuracy, rather than focusing on real-time fire detection. Hence, in this study, the authors present an efficient fire detection framework termed E-FireNet for real-time detection in a complex surveillance environment. The proposed model architecture is inspired by the VGG16 network, with significant modifications including the entire removal of Block-5 and tweaking of the convolutional layers of Block-4. This results in higher performance with a reduced number of… More >

Abstract Seminomas are most commonly diagnosed in clinical stage I (CSI). After orchiectomy, approximately 15% of patients in this stage have subclinical metastases. Adjuvant radiotherapy (ART) delivered to the retroperitoneum and ipsilateral pelvic lymph nodes has been the mainstay of treatment for many years. Although highly efficient, with long-term cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates approaching almost 100%, ART is associated with considerable long-term consequences, particularly cardiovascular toxicity and increased risk of secondary malignancies (SMN). Therefore, active surveillance (AS) and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) were developed as alternative treatment options. While AS prevents patient overtreatment, it is associated with strict follow-up regimens and increased… More >

Abstract The news ticker is a common feature of many different news networks that display headlines and other information. News ticker recognition applications are highly valuable in e-business and news surveillance for media regulatory authorities. In this paper, we focus on the automatic Arabic Ticker Recognition system for the Al-Ekhbariya news channel. The primary emphasis of this research is on ticker recognition methods and storage schemes. To that end, the research is aimed at character-wise explicit segmentation using a semantic segmentation technique and words identification method. The proposed learning architecture considers the grouping of homogeneous-shaped classes. This incorporates linguistic taxonomy in… More >

Abstract Video synopsis is an effective way to easily summarize long-recorded surveillance videos. The omnidirectional view allows the observer to select the desired fields of view (FoV) from the different FoV available for spherical surveillance video. By choosing to watch one portion, the observer misses out on the events occurring somewhere else in the spherical scene. This causes the observer to experience fear of missing out (FOMO). Hence, a novel personalized video synopsis approach for the generation of non-spherical videos has been introduced to address this issue. It also includes an action recognition module that makes it easy to display necessary… More >

Abstract Automated live video stream analytics has been extensively researched in recent times. Most of the traditional methods for video anomaly detection is supervised and use a single classifier to identify an anomaly in a frame. We propose a 3-stage ensemble-based unsupervised deep reinforcement algorithm with an underlying Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) based Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). In the first stage, an ensemble of LSTM-RNNs are deployed to generate the anomaly score. The second stage uses the least square method for optimal anomaly score generation. The third stage adopts award-based reinforcement learning to update the model. The proposed Hybrid Ensemble… More >

Abstract With the dramatic increase in video surveillance applications and public safety measures, the need for an accurate and effective system for abnormal/suspicious activity classification also increases. Although it has multiple applications, the problem is very challenging. In this paper, a novel approach for detecting normal/abnormal activity has been proposed. We used the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Kalman filter to detect and track the objects, respectively. After that, we performed shadow removal to segment an object and its shadow. After object segmentation we performed occlusion detection method to detect occlusion between multiple human silhouettes and we implemented a novel method… More >

Abstract Object detection plays a vital role in the video surveillance systems. To enhance security, surveillance cameras are now installed in public areas such as traffic signals, roadways, retail malls, train stations, and banks. However, monitoring the video continually at a quicker pace is a challenging job. As a consequence, security cameras are useless and need human monitoring. The primary difficulty with video surveillance is identifying abnormalities such as thefts, accidents, crimes, or other unlawful actions. The anomalous action does not occur at a higher rate than usual occurrences. To detect the object in a video, first we analyze the images… More >

Abstract In recent years, computer vision finds wide applications in maritime surveillance with its sophisticated algorithms and advanced architecture. Automatic ship detection with computer vision techniques provide an efficient means to monitor as well as track ships in water bodies. Waterways being an important medium of transport require continuous monitoring for protection of national security. The remote sensing satellite images of ships in harbours and water bodies are the image data that aid the neural network models to localize ships and to facilitate early identification of possible threats at sea. This paper proposes a deep learning based model capable enough to… More >
