What is video analytics?

X, Y, Z

Functions of video analytics

1. Anti-tampering and operability monitoring2. Operational alerts

– Automatic priorities

3. Automatic PTZ-camera targeting4. Event recording for instant forensic analysis5. Optimal usage of

network bandwidth and storage memory

Tampering and malfunction detectors• Loss of signal• Obstruction• Out of focus and lens

dusting• Blackout and overexposure • AE failure• Lighting

failure

Upon a suspicious event…• PTZ-targeting• System notification

over IP network to VMS– Sound and visual alarms, SMS etc

• ‘Dry contact’ signal• High quality recording to local

or remote storage (NAS)• Analogue output to legacy

systems (matrix or DVR)

Digital image stabiliser (antishaker)• Eliminates video shaking

caused by wind and industrial vibrations • Essential for analytics performance• Differentiates the camera movements

from scene background/foreground movements

Metadata sent over IP network / ONVIF• Event type, data and time• Zone or tripwire number• 2D object feature:

– Position, size, area, speed• Real 3D features

– Estimated from 2D featuresusing calibration data

• JPEG frame image withobject trajectory annotation

Videoanalytics calibration

• Two human figures define scale & angle

• Drag’n’drop calibration

• Tracking region

• 2D to 3D coordinate transform

Maximum response time

• People walking and running–2 seconds

• People moving slowly(e.g. crawling)–10 seconds

Causes of false negatives(simple motion detectors)

• Unstable background decreases sensitivity of an adaptive detector

DYNAMIC TEXTURE MODELING ALGORITHMSENABLE ROBUST OBJECT DETECTION IN A CHALENGING ENVIROMENT

Causes of false positives(basic motion detectors)

• Variable lighting– Shadows from moving clouds and sun– Moving trees, bushes and water

• Camera shaking• Animals, birds and insects• Object trajectory split and double detection• Snow, rain, fog

Examples of false positives(simple motion detectors)

Performance estimation by3D security modeling

• 3D modeling– building infrastructure– control zones of cameras

and third-party detectors– treats (in space-time)

• Estimation of detection probabilities under variable external conditions– day/night, fog, snow
