Criminals often resort to camera tampering to prevent capture of their actions. Real-time automated detection of video camera tampering cases is important for timely warning of the operators. Tampering is generally done by obstructing the camera view by a foreign object, displacing the camera and changing the focus of the camera lens. In automated camera tamper detection systems, low false alarm rates are important as reliability of these systems is compromised by unnecessary alarms and consequently the operators start ignoring the warnings. We propose adaptive algorithms to detect and identify such cases with low false alarms rates in typical surveillance scenarios where there is significant activity in the scene.

Adaptive camera tamper detection for video surveillance Sağlam, Ali; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2009) Criminals often resort to camera tampering to prevent capture of their actions. Many surveillance systems left unattended and videos surveillance system operators lose their concentration after a short period of time. Many important Real-time automated detection of video camera tampering cases is important for timely warning of the operators. Tampering can be defined as deliberate physical actions on a video surveillance camera and is generally done by obstructing the camera view by a foreign object, displa...
Object tracking system with seamless object handover between stationary and moving camera modes Emeksiz, Deniz; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2012) As the number of surveillance cameras and mobile platforms with cameras increases, automated detection and tracking of objects on these systems gain importance. There are various tracking methods designed for stationary or moving cameras. For stationary cameras, correspondence based tracking methods along with background subtraction have various advantages such as enabling detection of object entry and exit in a scene. They also provide robust tracking when the camera is static. However, they fail when the ...
A continuous object tracking system with stationary and moving camera modes Emeksiz, Deniz; Temizel, Alptekin (2012-09-27) Automatic detection and tracking of objects get more important with the increasing number of surveillance cameras and mobile platforms having cameras. Tracking systems are either designed with stationary camera or designed to work in moving camera. When the camera is stationary, correspondence based tracking with background subtraction has a number of benefits such as enabling automatic detection of new objects in the scene and better tracking accuracy. On the other hand, mean shift is a histogram-based tra...
Automated crowd behavior analysis for video surveillance applications Güler, Püren; Temizel, Alptekin; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2012) Automated analysis of a crowd behavior using surveillance videos is an important issue for public security, as it allows detection of dangerous crowds and where they are headed. Computer vision based crowd analysis algorithms can be divided into three groups; people counting, people tracking and crowd behavior analysis. In this thesis, the behavior understanding will be used for crowd behavior analysis. In the literature, there are two types of approaches for behavior understanding problem: analyzing behavi...
A Reliable and Reversible Image Privacy Protection Based on False Colors ÇİFTÇİ, Serdar; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Ebrahimi, Touradj (2018-01-01) Protection of visual privacy has become an indispensable component of video surveillance systems due to pervasive use of video cameras for surveillance purposes. In this paper, we propose two fully reversible privacy protection schemes implemented within the JPEG architecture. In both schemes, privacy protection is accomplished by using false colors with the first scheme being adaptable to other privacy protection filters while the second is false color-specific. Both schemes support either a lossless mode ...
