Abstract
We present a brief summary of the elements in an automatic video surveillance system, from imaging system to metadata. Surveillance system architectures are described, followed by the steps in video analysis, from preprocessing to object detection, tracking, classification and behaviour analysis.
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
