iJADE Surveillant — A Multi-resolution Neuro-oscillatory Agent-Based Surveillance System

9.6 Conclusion

In this chapter, the author has introduced a fully automatic and integrated intelligent neuro-agent based on MPEG-7 — the iJADE Surveillant. This integrates various contemporary technologies including intelligent multiagent technology (iJADE model) as the system intelligent kernel; automatic multi-resolution scene segmentation using the composite neuro-oscillatory wavelet-based (CNOW) model; automatic facial pattern extraction using the active contour model (ACM); and invariant facial pattern recognition based on the elastic graph dynamic link model (EGDLM). Based on the latest MPEG-7 standard, the iJADE Surveillant also demonstrates how an intelligent multimedia application can be implemented using the MPEG-7 architecture as the system framework for future development in the new millennium, especially in the area of mobile e-commerce and intelligent multimedia processing applications.
