In this paper, we propose a video summarization system which is based on activity in video acquired by multiple non-overlapping cameras for wide-area surveillance. The proposed system separates persons by time-independent background removal and detects activities of the segmented persons by their motions. In this paper, we extract eleven activities based on whose direction the persons move to and consider a key-frame as a frame which contains a meaningful activity. The proposed system summarizes based on activity-based key-frames and controls an amount of summarization according to an amount of activities. Thus the system can summarize videos by camera, time, and activity.

Video camera play very important roles for preventing many kinds of crimes and resolving those crime affairs. But in the case of recording image of a specific person far from the CCTV, the original image needs to be enlarged and recovered in order to identify the person more obviously. Interpolation is usually used for the enlargement and recovery of the image in this case. However, it has a certain limitation. As the magnification of enlargement is getting bigger, the quality of the original image can be worse. This paper uses FOP(Facial Definition Parameter) proposed by the MPEG-4 SNHC FBA group and introduces a new algorithm that uses face outline information of the original image based on the FOP, which makes it possible to recover better than the known methods until now.

Passenger safety is a primary concern of railway system but, it has been urgent issue that dozens of people are killed every year when they falloff from train platforms. Recently, advancements in IT have enabled applying vision sensors to railway environments, such as CCTV and stereo camera sensors. In this paper, we propose a stereoscopic video coding scheme for subway accident monitoring system. The proposed scheme is designed for providing flexible video among various displays, such as control center, station employees and train driver. We uses MPEG-2 standard for coding the left-view sequence and IBMDC for predicting the P- and B-types of frames of the right-view sequence. IBMDC predicts matching block by interpolating both motion and disparity predicted macroblocks. To provide efficient stereoscopic video service. we define both temporally and spatially scalable layers for each eye's-view by using the concept of Spatio-Temporal scalability. According to the experimental results. we expect the proposed functionalities will play a key role in establishing highly flexible stereoscopic video codec for ubiquitous display environment where devices and network connections are heterogeneous.

This paper presents a fire detection algorithm using color and motion models from video sequences. The proposed method detects change in color and motion of overall regions for detecting fire, and thus, it can be implemented in both fixed and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras. The proposed algorithm consists of three parts. The first part exploits color models of flames and smoke. The candidate regions in the video frames are extracted with the hue-saturation-value (HSV) color model. The second part models the motion information of flames and smoke. Optical flow in the fire candidate region is estimated, and the spatial-temporal distribution of optical flow vectors is analyzed. The final part accumulates the probability of fire in successive video frames, which reduces false-positive errors when fire-like color objects appear. Experimental results from 100 fire videos are shown, where various types of smoke and flames appear in indoor and outdoor environments. According to the experiments and the comparison, the proposed fire detection algorithm works well in various situations, and outperforms the conventional algorithms.

Behavior of intelligent video surveillance system is recognized by analyzing the pattern of the object of interest by using the frame information of video inputted from the camera and analyzes the behavior. Detection of object's certain behaviors in the crowd has become a critical problem because in the event of terror strikes. Recognition of object's certain behaviors is an important but difficult problem in the area of computer vision. As the realization of big data utilizing machine learning, data mining techniques, the amount of video through the CCTV, Smart-phone and Drone's video has increased dramatically. In this paper, we propose a multiple-sliding window method to recognize the cumulative change as one piece in order to improve the accuracy of the recognition. The experimental results demonstrated the method was robust and efficient learning units in the classification of certain behaviors.

This paper presents a real-time low-resolution face recognition method that uses a super-resolution technique. Conventional face recognition methods are limited by low accuracy resulting from the distance between the camera and objects. Although super-resolution methods have been developed to resolve this issue, they are not suitable for integrated face recognition systems. The proposed method recognizes faces with low resolution using key frame selection, super resolution, face detection, and recognition on real-time processing. Experiments involving several databases indicated that the proposed algorithm is superior to conventional methods in terms of face recognition accuracy.

In this paper, we propose an super-resolution method that improves resolution by using DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) for low resolution infra-red images. In this method, DWT is performed in a manner that does not reduce the resolution of an image input through an infra-red camera to generate sub-bands of the same resolution (LH, HL, and HH) And the original infra-red image is used to perform an inverse-DWT to obtain an infra-red image with improved resolution. Experimental results show that the mean SSIM value of the proposed method is 0.989861, which is about 0.004 higher than that of the conventional Bi-linear and Bi-cubic filters.

Rapid developments of industry and economics have made a metropolis which demands an effective urban transport management system (UTMS). Specially, this paper considers a subway surveillance system based on integrated wireless LAN technologies for public safety. Since a current subway platform security entirely relies on conventional closed circuit television camera (CCTV) or human operators, subway train drivers cannot detect platform states and cope with abnormal situations or accidents immediately. However, through the IP cameras and some wireless routers, high qualify images of the platform conditions can be directly delivered to the train drivers and other station employees in advance of train entering the platform. In this paper, several design issues and problems are discussed when building up the subway management system. Further, we illustrate a system model with the system requirements in real parametric values in order to draw concrete system designs and to realize a practical implementation of the future UTMS.

기존의 영상처리 및 컴퓨터 비전 기술은 X-ray, 군사용 사진, CCTV 영상과 같은 제한적인 상황에서 주로 사용되었다. 스마트폰이 보급되면서 고해상도의 사진을 어디서든 촬영할 수 있게 되었고, 고성능 디바이스를 이용하여 촬영된 영상을 즉시 가공 및 처리가 가능하게 되었다. 그 결과 영상처리 기술이 이전보다 다양하고 좀 더 일반적인 분야에서도 쓰이게 되었다. 그러나 영상처리 기술은 조건이 제한될수록 처리가 용이하며, 일반적인 이미지들을 처리하기 위해서는 고려해야 할 사항이 많다. 특히 두피 영상 분석의 경우 머리카락이 겹치는 부분이나 그림자, 머리카락이 밀집하여 상대적으로 어두워지는 부분 등을 고려해야 하는 어려움이 있으며 현재까지 영상처리를 이용한 두피영상 분석에 대한 연구는 많지 않은 것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰에 부착하는 포터블 카메라로 촬영된 두피영상을 분석하여 모발의 두께를 측정하는 기법을 제시한다. 먼저 영상에 대한 전처리로 Contrast stretching과 이 진화 과정을 수행한다. 얻어진 이진화 영상에 대해 머리카락의 Skeleton을 추출하고 각 pixel의 각도(angle)를 이용하여 법선을 구한다. 계산된 법선과 머리카락 사이의 교점을 구한 후 두 점사이의 거리를 통해 모발의 두께를 계산한다. 계산된 두께와 현미경을 이용하여 측정한 모발의 실제 두께와 비교하여 제안된 기법의 정확도를 평가한다.

보안과 관련된 기술이 발전하여 대규모의 장소에 적합한 보안시스템들이 많이 개발되었다. 특히 CCTV를 이용한 감시카메라의 형태도 다양화되었다. 스마트폰의 어플리케이션이나 웹을 통해서 어디서든 감시할 수도 있어, 이를 통해 보안사고 시에 빠른 대처가 가능하다. 하지만 대규모 시스템이 아닌 경우에는 침입자 발견이 늦고, 뒤늦은 대처로 인해 큰 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 라즈베리파이, 실드 보드 등 기타 하드웨어들을 통하여 침입자를 스스로 감지하여 사용자에게 즉시 알림을 전송함으로써 보안사고에 대한 대처를 빠르고 효율적으로 할 수 있는 보안카메라를 구현하였다. 본 보안 시스템은 소리의 방향을 계산하고 정확한 방향으로의 보정을 통하여 최초 침입자를 인식한다. 이후 이미지트래킹을 통하여 침입자를 추적한다. 무선 네트워크를 이용하기 때문에 네트워크가 지원되는 어느 장소에서든지 사용이 가능하다. 대규모 보안시스템을 설치할 여건이 되기 어려운 작은 공장, 상가, 사무실 등에서 보안시스템으로 사용되면 유용할 것이다. 자세한 개발 내용은 본문에 기술한다.
