Abstract

In surveillance, we need to present a story of a moving object. This story is called event which is the best way to describe the motion of this object. In this chapter, we will critically compare and evaluate the major components of a surveillance event and understand the event as a basic semantic unit of intelligent surveillance. We will introduce the algorithms how to detect and recognize an event.
