Abstract

A novel method for content-based retrieval of surveillance video data is presented. The study starts from the realistic assumption that the automatic feature extraction is kept simple, i.e. only segmentation and low-cost filtering operations have been applied. The solution is based on a new and generic dissimilarity measure for discriminating video surveillance scenes. This weighted compound measure can be interactively adapted during a session in order to capture the user's subjectivity. Upon this, a key-frame selection and a content-based retrieval system have been developed and tested on several actual surveillance sequences. Experiments have shown how the proposed method is efficient and robust to segmentation errors.
