Abstract
The goal of this research project is to develop intelligent software that can see and detect unusual events from
surveillance video stream. As the growing number of security camera is challenging the reliability of existing security
systems which are still relying on human monitors, this project exploits computer vision and artificial intelligence for
developing intelligent security application that can aid human monitors taking early actions against malicious events.

Foreground Region
First, active foreground regions are separated using an adaptive model of
the scene background [1][2], and then scene level features are extracted
from those regions.

Total 270 temporal features are computed
from the time varying scene level features.
Finally, top ranked features are mapped to
high level event models.
