A surveillance system with automatic video-shot detection and indexing capabilities is
presented. The proposed system aims at detecting the presence of abandoned objects in a …

Vision-based systems for remote surveillance usually involve change detection algorithms
for intruders, obstacles or irregularities detection. In particular, there is a potentially very cost-…

A surveillance system devoted to detect abandoned objects in unattended environments is
presented; image processing content based retrieval capabilities have been added to make …

In the last decade, video surveillance systems have been developed to guard remote
environments in order to detect and prevent dangerous situations. In general, such systems are …

A camera calibration method for video-surveillance applications is presented. The proposed
method works on the hypothesis of a fixed TV camera and it is developed in order to …

In the last decade, nonlinear image processing algorithms have been developed for noise
removing. With respect to linear methods, they present the advantage of minimizing …

In this chapter a wide range of change detection tools is addressed. They are grouped into
methods suitable for optical and multispectral data, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, …

A Long Term Change Detection (CD) Method is presented by definition of a probabilistic
model and the integration of two different informative sources. The model is described from a …

In this paper a multimedia system for surveying remote environments is presented. The goal
of the proposed system is to alert the surveillance operator when an abandoned object is …

A method for color image restoration based on the concept of Markov random fields and
space-filling curves is presented. This work is a vectorial extension of a scalar deterministic …
