Packages that are left unattended in public spaces are a security concern and timely detection of these packages is important for prevention of potential threats. However continuous surveillance of such places is difficult. Therefore, it is important to aid operators with automatic detection of abandoned items. Most of the methods define abandoned items as items newly added to the scene and stayed stationary for a predefined time. Hence other stationary objects, such as people sitting on a bench, are also detected as suspicious objects resulting in a high number of false alarms. These false alarms could be prevented by discriminating suspicious items as living/nonliving objects. In this paper, a system using a thermal camera in addition to a visible band camera is proposed. By analysis of information from different cameras, people and the objects left behind can be detected separately to reduce the false alarm rate.

Thermal and visible band image fusion for abondoned object dedection
Yiğit, Ahmet; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2010)
Packages that are left unattended in public spaces are a security concern and timely detection of these packages is important for prevention of potential threats. Operators should be always alert to detect abandoned items in crowded environments. However, it is very difficult for operators to stay concentrated for extended periods. Therefore, it is important to aid operators with automatic detection of abandoned items. Most of the methods in the literature define abandoned items as items newly added to the ...
Fusion of thermal- and visible-band video for abandoned object detection
Beyan, Cigdem; Yiğit, Ahmet; Temizel, Alptekin (2011-07-01)
Timely detection of packages that are left unattended in public spaces is a security concern, and rapid detection is important for prevention of potential threats. Because constant surveillance of such places is challenging and labor intensive, automated abandoned-object-detection systems aiding operators have started to be widely used. In many studies, stationary objects, such as people sitting on a bench, are also detected as suspicious objects due to abandoned items being defined as items newly added to ...
Object tracking for surveillance applications using thermal and visible band video data fusion
Beyan, Çiğdem; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2010)
Individual tracking of objects in the video such as people and the luggages they carry is important for surveillance applications as it would enable deduction of higher level information and timely detection of potential threats. However, this is a challenging problem and many studies in the literature track people and the belongings as a single object. In this thesis, we propose using thermal band video data in addition to the visible band video data for tracking people and their belongings separately for ...
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...
Anomaly detection using sparse features and spatio-temporal hidden markov model for pedestrian zone video surveillance
Gündüz, Ayşe Elvan; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2014)
Automated analysis of crowd behavior for anomaly detection has become an important issue to ensure the safety and security of the public spaces. Public spaces have varying people density and as such, algorithms are required to work robustly in low to high density crowds. Mainly, there are two different approaches for analyzing the crowd behavior: methods based on object tracking where individuals in a crowd are tracked and holistic methods where the crowd is analyzed as a whole. In this work, the aim is to ...
