In this paper a novel camera calibration method for video-surveillance applications is presented. The proposed method works on the hypothesis of a fixed TV camera and it is developed in order to minimize the human intervention during the calibration process. For the application, the proposed algorithm needs the 3D measure of only one point in...

In this paper a multimedia system for surveying remote environments is presented. The goal of the proposed system is to alert the surveillance operator when an abandoned object is detected in waiting rooms of unattended railway stations. The system is based on a monochromatic TV-camera acquiring video data about the surveyed environment; this...

n this paper, a joint video-shot and layer indexing technique is presented with applications to automatic surveillance of indoor environments. A video-based surveillance system has been developed that simultaneously tracks moving objects and detects the presence of abandoned objects. Whenever an abandoned abject is detected, the system is able...

Statistical soft morphology is an extension of soft morphology which is based on a probabilistic model. It has been first proposed for 1D signal processing. In this paper the 2D case is considered which can be useful to solve image processing restoration problems. Statistical soft morphological operators provide good result in cleaning noise...

In this paper a new morphological method is proposed for performing edge detection and image filtering at the same time. These operations are useful for high level image processing systems performing tasks such as pattern recognition or region segmentation. in literature two main classes of methodologies are proposed: Bayesian methods, that...
