ABSTRACT

Among the various modes of surveillance that exist today, visual surveillance is gaining importance primarily due to its ability to record everything in an area under observation. This recorded data offers a human being complete information of the area, including the scene layout, the weather conditions during that time period, and the various objects that come into the scene and their actions and activities. Therefore, this recorded data can not only be used

for Video

for security and real-time monitoring, but also for a wide range of analysis of the area on the basis of object behaviors, patterns of movements, and types of objects that come into the scene. This analysis, in turn, can be used for applications such as security monitoring, traffic planning and management, customer behavior in a retail shop, egress planning in large stores and offices, and layout designs of retail shops and stores.
