AVSS 2011 demo session: A systems level approach to perimeter protection

The primary technical goal of this work is the development of a comprehensive approach to perimeter protection for critical infrastructure and industrial sites. The approach taken is to combine both video and non-video sensors so as to produce a real-time system capable of tracking objects of interest and of detecting potential events that may warrant the attention of security officials. A summary of the system architecture is shown in Figure 1. System modules include: • The ability to detect and track people using both visual and radar based sensors. • The detection of articulated motions as well as complex and abnormal events. • The application of object recognition to detected left behind objects.
