KNIGHT
A preliminary video surveillance
and monitoring system, called KNIGHT, has been developed to help Orlando
Police Department with electronic patrol. KNIGHT is a 'smart' surveillance
system that detects important changes, events, and activities using computer
vision techniques, flags significant events, and presents a summary in terms
of key frames and textual description of activities to a monitoring officer
for final analysis and response decision. The system is robust to illumination
changes and weather conditions. KNIGHT has been installed at four locations
in the downtown Orlando area which has Orange Avenue as its primary street,
and is currently being field tested. The system employs single camera, and
works in real time. KNIGHT consists of four main modules: object detection
and shadow removal, tracking object classification and activity detection. Results for IR sequences
