Intelligent resident surveillance is one of the most essential smart community services. The increasing demand for security needs surveillance systems to be able to detect anomalies in surveillance scenes. Employing high-capacity computational devices for intelligent surveillance in residential societies is costly and not feasible. Therefore, we propose anomaly detection for intelligent surveillance using CPU-only edge devices. A modular framework to capture object-level inferences and tracking is developed. To cope with partial occlusions, posture deformations, and complex scenes, we employed feature encoding and trajectory association governed by two metrices complementing to each other. The elements of an anomaly detection framework are optimized to run on CPU-only edge devices with sufficient frames per second (FPS). The experimental results indicate the proposed method is feasible and achieves satisfactory results in real-life scenarios.

Anomaly detection is critically important for intelligent surveillance systems to detect in a timely manner any malicious activities. Many video anomaly detection approaches using deep learning methods focus on a single camera video stream with a fixed scenario. These deep learning methods use large-scale training data with large complexity. As a solution, in this paper, we show how to use pre-trained convolutional neural net models to perform feature extraction and context mining, and then use denoising autoencoder with relatively low model complexity to provide efficient and accurate surveil…
When it comes to addressing the safety/security related needs at different production/construction sites, accurate detection of the presence of workers, vehicles, equipment important and formed an integral part of computer vision-based surveillance systems (CVSS). Traditional CVSS systems focus on the use of different computer vision and pattern recognition algorithms overly reliant on manual extraction of features and small datasets, limiting their usage because of low accuracy, need for expert knowledge and high computational costs. The main objective of this paper is to provide decision mak…

Smart video sensors for applications related to surveillance and security are IOT-based as they use Internet for various purposes. Such applications include crowd behaviour monitoring and advanced decision support systems operating and transmitting information over internet. The analysis of crowd and pedestrian behaviour is an important task for smart IoT cameras and in particular video processing. In order to provide related behavioural models, simulation and tracking approaches have been considered in the literature. In both cases ground truth is essential to train deep models and provide a …
Video surveillance has become ubiquitous in the modern world. Mobile devices, surveillance cameras, and IoT devices, all can record video that can violate our privacy. One proposed solution for this is privacy-preserving video, which removes identifying information from the video as it is produced. Several algorithms for this have been proposed, but all of them suffer from scale issues: in order to sufficiently anonymize near-camera objects, distant objects become unidentifiable. In this paper, we propose a scale-invariant method, based on wavelet decomposition.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to present a system that enhances the security, efficiency, and reconfigurability of an Internet-of-Things (IoT) system used for surveillance and monitoring. Methods: A Multi-Processor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) composed of Central Processor Unit (CPU) and Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is proposed for increasing the security and the frame rate of a smart IoT edge device. The private encryption key is safely embedded in the FPGA unit to avoid being exposed in the Random Access Memory (RAM). This allows the edge device to securely store and authenticate…

Real-time video surveillance, through CCTV camera systems has become essential for ensuring public safety which is a priority today. Although CCTV cameras help a lot in increasing security, these systems require constant human interaction and monitoring. To eradicate this issue, intelligent surveillance systems can be built using deep learning video classification techniques that can help us automate surveillance systems to detect violence as it happens. In this research, we explore deep learning video classification techniques to detect violence as they are happening. Traditional image classi…
Activity recognition is the ability to identify and recognize the action or goals of the agent. The agent can be any object or entity that performs action that has end goals. The agents can be a single agent performing the action or group of agents performing the actions or having some interaction. Human activity recognition has gained popularity due to its demands in many practical applications such as entertainment, healthcare, simulations and surveillance systems. Vision based activity recognition is gaining advantage as it does not require any human intervention or physical contact with hu…

Modern organizations face numerous physical security threats, from fire hazards to more intricate concerns regarding surveillance and unauthorized personnel. Conventional standalone fire and intrusion detection solutions must be installed and maintained independently, which leads to high capital and operational costs. Nonetheless, due to recent developments in smart sensors, computer vision techniques, and wireless communication technologies, these solutions can be integrated in a modular and low-cost manner. This work introduces Integrated Physical Security System (IP2S), a multi-agent system…

Object recognition in video is an important task for plenty of applications, including autonomous driving perception, surveillance tasks, wearable devices or IoT networks. Object recognition using video data is more challenging than using still images due to blur, occlusions or rare object poses. Specific video detectors with high computational cost or standard image detectors together with a fast post-processing algorithm achieve the current state-of-the-art. This work introduces a novel post-processing pipeline that overcomes some of the limitations of previous post-processing methods by int…

Smart cameras are increasingly used in surveillance solutions in public spaces. Contemporary computer vision applications can be used to recognize events that require intervention by emergency services. Smart cameras can be mounted in locations where citizens feel particularly unsafe, e.g., pathways and underpasses with a history of incidents. One promising approach for smart cameras is edge AI, i.e., deploying AI technology on IoT devices. However, implementing resource-demanding technology such as image recognition using deep neural networks (DNN) on constrained devices is a substantial chal…
