This paper details research that will explore the analysis of human behaviour via video surveillance. Digital computer images will be obtained from video footage of a real world scene, and positions of people in the scene will be identified and tracked through each frame in the sequence.
The noted positions will build into a pattern of motion that can be examined and classified. It is proposed that specific events, such as panic or fight situations, will have unique, and therefore identifying, characteristics that will enable automatic detection of such events.
It is envisaged that active cameras will be used when a situation of interest occurs, to enable more information to be extracted from the scene (e.g., panning to follow action, or zooming to enhance detail.)
