Intelligent video survellance systems: an algorithmic approach

This title provides an overview of techniques for visual monitoring including video surveillance and human activity understanding.

It presents the basic techniques of processing video from static cameras, starting with object detection and tracking.

The author introduces further video analytic modules including face detection, trajectory analysis and object classification.

Examining system design and specific problems in visual surveillance, such as the use of multiple cameras and moving cameras, the author elaborates on privacy issues focusing on approaches where automatic processing can help protect privacy.
