Identifying moving objects from a video sequence is a fundamental and critical task in many computer-vision applications. A common approach is to perform background subtraction, which identifies moving objects from the portion of a video frame that differs significantly from a background model. Most methods for foreground region detection in videos are challenged by the presence of quasi-stationary backgrounds flickering monitors, waving tree branches, moving water surfaces or rain. Additional difficulties are caused by camera shake or by the presence of moving objects in every image. In this paper, we proposed a background subtraction algorithm based on background reconstruction method for both stationary and dynamic background video sequences. Firstly, pre-processing is used to obtained the appropriate video frames from video sequences. Secondly, background is reconstructed by averaging and filtering method . Finally, the initial video object is derived in each frame by subtracting the background from this image, after that, mathematic morphology post-processing is used to get an accurate video object. Experiments on typical sequences have successfully demonstrated the validity of the proposed algorithm.

I. INTRODUCTION
Video segmentation refers to the identification of region in a frame of video that are homogeneous tin some sense. Different features and homogeneity criteria generally lead to different segmentation of same data; for example, color segmentation, texture segmentation, and motion segmentation usually result in subdivision maps. Furthermore, there is no assurance that any of the resulting s...

IV. CONCLUSION
In this paper, background subtraction algorithm based on background reconstruction is proposed to detect moving objects from video sequences. The segmentation results show that the proposed algorithm can extract moving objects effectively from both static as well as dynamic background. Simple averaging method gives the appropriate results for static background and modified averaging method gives the perfect results for dynamic background. This algorithm is appropriate for application to surveillance-type video. Thus, our future work is mainly focused on extraction of objects from unconstrained videos, for example, video obtained from broadcast news networks or home videos.
Lewinski says, on the off chance that you look far from where the camera is concentrating, you may not see activity inside of the camera outline that has all the earmarks of being happening 'just before your eyes. Another is “some important danger cues can’t be recorded” Tactical cues that are important to police officers in deciding whether to apply the use of force are difficult for the body cameras to capture. In an example given by Lewinski, Case in point, an assaultive subject who conveys his hands up might look to a civilian like he 's surrendering, however to you, taking into account past experience, that can be an exceptionally scary and contentious development, flagging his planning for a battling assault. The camera just catches the activity, not your

	Aside from the audio and visual points, there are various camera angles used. When everyone is circled around the boiling pot the camera man uses a stedicam shot to circle around and show everyone’s face. When the viewer is seeing a girl take off her clothes the camera technician uses a zoom shot. This holds true when the governor approaches the gathering.
Chroma-Key is a process where the video device, keyer focuses on the blue background and makes it transparent thus allowing you to create a composite image with your background image plate. Original keyers primarily used the blue channel of the video camera creating very jarring and unpredictable effects. Modern keyers however create very reliable and even composite images.
Motion Capture cameras are retro-reflective cameras used to help capture body motions in order to study the movements in space, also known as kinematics. Motion capture cameras can capture at 1 million millisecond intervals, making frames as high as 1,000 per second. There are two types of motion capturing cameras, 2-D and 3-D. Two-dimensional motion capture occurs when only using one motion capture camera. 2-D only incorporates the X an Y coordinates. When using more than one camera the Z coordinate is incorporated, making it a three-dimensional motion capture. Motion capture can be fairly cost effective when using only one camera and a computer to digitize the film into sequences of different frames. Then one can compare the videos and frames with other videos to help discover and form ideas to improve and further the knowledge on motion in space.
Many computer vision applications provide vast knowledge about the line in an image. Manually extraction of the line information from an image can be very exhausting and time-consuming; especially there are many lines in the image. An automatic method is desirable, but it is not as trivial as edge detection since if any, one has to detect which edge points belongs to which line. The Hough-transform is more preferable to make this separation possible and is the method I have used in my program for line detection.
The concept of formal surveillance mainly includes the methods used by the police to detect and deter crimes (Michel H. Tonry, 2000 in the handbook of crime & Punishment p.382). However, it can be extended to the use of CCTV camera, police patrols and alarms system (Welsh and Farrington, 2003). For the purpose of this study, focus will be on the use of CCTV cameras.
“It used to be that walls have ears, but they also have eyes,” said Stephen Barnhart, owner of Barnhart Security and Alarm Services in Grandview.(Downs, 1 of 4) The United States has 2 million camera surveillance systems, according to an industry estimate, and in downtown Chicago there is an average of 3 cameras per block. More and more governments all around are protecting their public space, with surveillance cameras to catch criminals and scare the people who think about doing the wrong thing. Although they are convenient and in few cases helpful, these cameras display greater risks to privacy. Surveillance and security cameras have become extremely popular, and an invasion of privacy.
Surveillance cameras have evolved and have become more sophisticated over the years. With advanced technology cameras are now equipped with high definition imaging, audio, and even night vision. It is important for law enforcement to be equipped with this advanced technology when it comes to deterring and solving crimes. To explain, high definition cameras provide better image quality which makes it easier to provide officers, citizens, and the media with a distinctive description of the suspect or persons of interest. With this high quality imaging police are able to read words off a newspaper or a book from a light pole twenty feet away; this is a vital aspect that can help law enforcement officials with solving various types of crimes. Next, audio will help catch any verbal exchanges between the suspect and the victim. For example, if a gang affiliated subject was allegedly involved in an altercation with a rival gang member and are standing within a certain radius of the surveillance...

Surveillance is used by the government for them to find out information about other people or crimes that have happened and it ensures people about public safety around there area. These cameras are used for people who steal in stores or other areas. The owners get to go back and look at the cameras to see who committed the crime at the time if they suspect something. I do not think someone is monitoring the surveillance at all hours of the day and night. I believe that only when they suspect something or see someone stealing they look at the camera for evidence to catch the person if they didn’t catch them in the moment. Many people may think that if surveillance is everywhere there will be less crimes. “If a crime is committed and there is a surveillance camera, there is a good chance that the authorities will be able to get a viable image of the criminal. The camera footage can be used to put the image on posters and aired on television where someone might be able to recognize who the person is. Without the surveillance camera, it may be more difficult to get a detailed description of the perpetrator.”(ehow) My personal opinion is some of the cameras may not even work or even turned on they might just be there to make people nervous, or scared. There are so many crimes and break-ins that nobody can seem to figure out still till this day. There are people who bring guns or other things on plans or even schools that’s cause scenes to happen. If they had the correct surveillance that actually worked why are people still till this day getting away with so
Technology has become more important in this millennium era, as it has become a need for almost every people in the world. With the development of technology, the statistics of criminalization had also increases as there are many new methods to do their crime by misusing the technology that was invented to help people. Various technology inventions had been made to overcome this problem. One of them is a surveillance method that was invented to keep an eye on the criminal, be it an intruder, a robber or a theft. The objective of this project is to come up with a more advanced surveillance system than the previous one, can respond quickly (faster), have the ability to integrate different party, which is the owner, the security, and the police, and can inform the police and the user quickly by using SMS, MMS and email. Our project also aims to develop a system that offers more support than the previous system and have the ability to monitor and track multi-target criminal, whether it is in a fixed property (house) or moving property (car).
The system were trained with training data set, and validated with validating data set to find the best network architecture. The cross-validation technique was implemented with training data set, validating data set, and test set. The experiments show consistency results with accurate classifications of traffic sign patterns with complex background images. The processing time in each frame of image is provided which is satisfied to apply in the real application
...detecting the dark regions in the image. Based on the detected pair of eye candidates, possible facial regions are located by means of the geometric relationship between various features. Detection of eyes, mouth and nose are done by estimating the probable region for each feature. Geometrical interpretation of location of facial features, used in the algorithms is described with pictorial representation. It is observed that, with the use of facial geometry, the accuracy of features (eyes, nose and mouth) detection is greatly improved. The proposed method for feature extraction is also found to be accurate in detecting all kinds of frontal images. In conclusion, this method can achieve a high performance in detecting human faces and extracting facial features.
I INTRODUCTION— The objective of this project is to design a product which is very much useful to those people who are visually impaired and are often has to rely on others. It allows the user to walk freely by detecting obstacles. The obstacle will be detected by using various image processing techniques such as pre-processing, segmentation, adaptive thresholding, and piece wise linear approach. This project is based on ARM7 LPC2148. Image will be captured using a camera and the camera is connected to the PC. If any obstacle comes in front of blind person, he will get to know about the obstacle by hearing the sound generated by the speaker for which we will use APR9600. For outdoor environment we will use GPS. Coordinates of various locations will be stored in EEPROM and if the blind person reaches that location he will get to know the...
