A Framework for an Event Driven Video Surveillance System

In this paper we present an event driven surveillance system.The purpose of this system is to enable thorough explorationof surveillance events. The system uses a clientserverweb architecture as this provides scalability for furtherdevelopment of the system infrastructure. The systemis designed to be accessed by surveillance operators whocan review and comment on events generated by our eventdetection processing modules. The presentation interfaceis based around a cross between Gmail and YouTube, aswe believe these interfaces to be intuitive for ordinary computeroperators. Our motivation is to fully utilize the eventsarchived in our database and to further refine the relevantevents. We do not just focus on event detection, but areworking towards the optimization of event detection. To thebest of our knowledge this system provides a novel approachto the technological surveillance paradigm.
