INTELLIGENT SURVEILLANCE BASED ON NORMALITY ANALYSIS TO DETECT ABNORMAL BEHAVIORS

Intelligent surveillance refers to using Artificial Intelligence techniques in order to improve surveillance and deal with semantic information obtained from low-level security devices. In this context, the use of expert knowledge may offer a more realistic solution when dealing with the design of a surveillance system. In this work, a conceptual framework based on normality analysis to detect abnormal behaviors by means of normality concepts is presented. A normality concept specifies how a certain object should ideally behave in a concrete environment depending on such a concept. The definition of the normal path concept is studied in depth in order to analyze behaviors in an outdoor environment.
