Remote Detection of Abandoned Objects in unattended Railway Stations by using a DS/CDMA Video-Surveillance System

  • Chapter
Advanced Video-Based Surveillance Systems

Abstract

The most widely used video-based surveillance systems generally employ two or more monochromatic cameras that are connected to one or more monitors. In the case of remote video-based surveillance systems, the unattended surveyed environments are generally located quite far from the control centre, where the result of the processing is displayed to a human operator. Therefore a communication system is required in order to transmit the multimedia information acquired by the sensors, digitised and processed at a local level.
