Detection of vehicles stopping in restricted zones in video from surveillance cameras
PublicationAn algorithm for detection of vehicles that stop in restricted areas, e.g. excluded by traffic rules, is proposed. Classic approaches based on object tracking are inefficient in high traffic scenes because of tracking errors caused by frequent object merging and splitting. The proposed algorithm uses the background subtraction results for detection of moving objects, then pixels belonging to moving objects are tested for stability....

Multimodal English corpus for automatic speech recognition
PublicationA multimodal corpus developed for research of speech recognition based on audio-visual data is presented. Besides usual video and sound excerpts, the prepared database contains also thermovision images and depth maps. All streams were recorded simultaneously, therefore the corpus enables to examine the importance of the information provided by different modalities. Based on the recordings, it is also possible to develop a speech...

Rozpoznawanie ruchów i gestów wykonywanych ustami w obrazie wizyjnym z użyciem sieci neuronowych
PublicationUstomysz jest interfejsem komputerowym, umożliwiającym sterowanie kursorem ekranowym za pomocą ruchów ust i gestów wykonywanych ustami. Główną grupą docelową użytkowników interfejsu są osoby, które z dowolnego powodu nie mogą lub nie chcą posługiwać się tradycyjną klawiaturą i myszką komputerową. W związku z tym, może on umożliwić osobom niepełnosprawnym ruchowo, np. z niedowładem kończyn posługiwanie się komputerem, a przez to...

Spatial Calibration of a Dual PTZ-Fixed Camera System for Tracking Moving Objects in Video
PublicationA dual camera setup is proposed, consisting of a fixed (stationary) camera and a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, employed in an automatic video surveillance system. The PTZ camera is zoomed in on a selected point in the fixed camera view and it may automatically track a moving object. For this purpose, two camera spatial calibration procedures are proposed. The PTZ camera is calibrated in relation to the fixed camera image, using interpolated...

Visual Detection of People Movement Rules Violation in Crowded Indoor Scenes
PublicationThe paper presents a camera-independent framework for detecting violations of two typical people movement rules that are in force in many public transit terminals: moving in the wrong direction or across designated lanes. Low-level image processing is based on object detection with Gaussian Mixture Models and employs Kalman filters with conflict resolving extensions for the object tracking. In order to allow an effective event...

Multi-Camera Vehicle Tracking Using Local Image Features and Neural Networks
PublicationA method for tracking moving objects crossing fields of view of multiple cameras is presented. The algorithm utilizes Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Each ANN is trained to recognize images of one moving object acquired by a single camera. Local image features calculated in the vicinity of automatically detected interest points are used as object image parameters. Next, ANNs are employed to identify the same objects captured...

Camera Orientation-Independent Parking Events Detection
PublicationThe paper describes the method for detecting precise position and time of vehicles parking in a parking lot. This task is trivial in case of favorable camera orientation but gets much more complex when an angle between the camera viewing axis and the ground is small. The method utilizes background subtraction and object tracking algorithms for detecting moving objects in a video stream. Objects are classified into vehicles and...
