This book will provide an overview of techniques for visual monitoring including video surveillance and human activity understanding. It will present the basic techniques of processing video from static cameras, starting with object detection and tracking. The author will introduce further video analytic modules including face detection, trajectory analysis and object classification. Examining system design and specific problems in visual surveillance, such as the use of multiple cameras and moving cameras, the author will elaborate on privacy issues focusing on approaches where automatic processing can help protect privacy.

Nowadays, visual surveillance is going to be an important tool for making the world more secure. Everybody wants to secure their places of work and residence, and entrepreneurs are also ready to invest in making such surveillance systems. The objective of this book is to present the recent progress that has been made in video surveillance systems, and enlist the latest techniques and algorithms that have been developed. Human activity recognition is an important building block of any video surveillance system. It will help us to recognize humans and describe their actions and activities, from information acquired by video cameras. This is a really challenging task and researchers are proposing many new techniques and algorithms for it.

Although there are few books dealing with various aspects of video surveillance, a book comprehensively covering the image processing, video processing, algorithm, and implementation aspects of video surveillance is urgently needed. This book covers video surveillance systems including background modeling, foreground detection, blob segmentation, activity recognition, individual behavior recognition, group behavior recognition, and tracking of human objects.
