Abstract

Surveillance is the observation of behaviour, a variety of activities, or information with the goal of acquiring information, influencing, managing, or guiding it. This can include remote observation using electronic equipment such as closed-circuit television (CCTV) or intercepting electronically transmitted data such as Internet traffic. Simple technical methods such as human intelligence collection and postal interception can also be included. The observation of people’s behaviour, actions, or other changing information for the aim of influencing, managing, guiding, or safeguarding from a video sequence is known as visual surveillance. It is an important technology in the battle against terrorism, crime, and public safety, among other things. Surveillance cameras that are available only react “after the event.” The goal of this Paper is to create a visual surveillance system that can replace standard passive video surveillance. There is a requirement for continuous surveillance video monitoring 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To notify the system when there is still time to prevent a crime from occurring. It will consist of two steps: object detection and tracking. It will entail extracting moving objects from video in real time and tracking them over time. Object detection in movies will entail determining whether or not an object is present in video sequences. Item tracking will be used to follow the spatial and temporal changes of an object throughout a video sequence. Because tracking normally begins with the detection of an object, these two processes are inextricably linked. Object detection in subsequent video sequences is frequently required to aid and confirm tracking.
