Selective Visual Attention in Electronic Video Surveillance

Khurshid Ahmad

2005

Abstract

In this paper we describe how a model of selective visual attention, driven entirely by visual features might be used to attend to “unusual” events in a complex surveillance environment. For the purposes of illustration and elaboration we have used an implementation of an early processing model of attention (due to Itti and Koch [1]) to process ground-truth surveillance video data [2].
