Abstract

Recent increased adaptation of security cameras to survey public areas has caused a digital data explosion that human operators have difficulty to keep up with. In order to support future surveillance systems, this paper describes a recognition and tracking system for abandoned objects. The goal is to design and implement a system which will be able to detect abandoned luggage using video sequences. The system uses high level reasoning to infer the existence of abandoned luggage. The proposed approach was implemented using existing image segmentation, blob creation, labelling and tracking algorithms. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
