ZoneMinder

ZoneMinder is a suite of integrated applications intended for use in video camera security applications, including home cctv, theft prevention and child or family member monitoring. It supports capture, analysis, recording, and monitoring of video data coming from one or more video or network ... [More] cameras attached to a Linux system. It also features a user-friendly Web interface which allows viewing, archival, review, and deletion of images and movies captured by the cameras. The image analysis system is highly configurable, permitting retention of specific events, while eliminating false positives. ZoneMinder supports both directly connected and network cameras. [Less]

Motion

Motion is a program that monitors the video signal from one or more cameras and is able to detect if a significant part of the picture has changed; in other words, it can detect motion. The program is written in C and is made for the Linux operating system. Motion is a command line based tool ... [More] whose output can be either jpeg, ppm fies or mpeg video sequences. Motion is strictly command line driven and can run as a daemon with a rather small footprint. Motion is the perfect tool for keeping an eye on your property, keeping only those images that are interesting. [Less]

Citizen Intelligence Agency

A project with the goal to increase the surveillance of Swedish parliament members. This will be done by analyzing the votes of each member of parliament and create views related to the relations between them.

polygonscanning

Polygon scanning algorithms for my undergraduate research project

sentrybot

This surveillance system is accomplished by utilizing a Qwerk Board (Developed by CMU) to run a iRobot Create. The Sentry Bot can be remotely controlled by a PC via wifi (802.11g). It also features a camera, speakers, and other I/O capabilities. This project is for the Robotics (CS154) class at Harvey Mudd College.

vsl

GeneralThis is a testing environment used for creating visual surveillance applications. The main idea that stand behind it is to supply the users various surveillance algorithms which they mix together to create different behaviors. The environment supports plug-in behavior which allows to ... [More] develop such algorithms in a consistent manner. The application implements a GUI interface based on Windows forms 2.0 and is written entirely using C#. Motivation1. Anomaly detection - This is the first motivation for such a system that comes into mind , i.e. the ability to learn somehow what is considered a normal behavior and any behavior that deviates from the normal one is considered an anomaly. An example usage can be in an office building entrance hall were we all know that people go straight to the lobby after they enter the building, so people that decide to go to a different direction can be considered harmful. 2. Automated security - In today’s world when each security guard has to pay attention to several surveillance cameras sometimes automating the entire process can help decrease costs and increase the effectiveness of each guard (pay attention only to certain events that the system already screened for you). 3. Crowed flux statistics - How many cars are using this road, how many cars are coming from road A and how many from road B, by knowing that I can decide which road to widen. General structureA surveillance system gets a stream of images and tries to learn from this stream several important facts: 1. Are there any objects in the images, by objects I mean people, cars, suitcases, body limbs (hand, head etc...) and you can add as much as you want to this list. 2. What is the type of the objects, is it a car or a person again you can continue as much as you want. 3. What is the current position of the object in x,y coordinates (maybe even z) 4. Does the position of the object means something to me, does this car in position 10,50 is driving in a valid trajectory. This project tries to encapsulates this structure in a consistent manner. Each plug-in needs to implement a set of interfaces in order to allow the main program to communicate and configure it. The project support runtime configuration and runtime information on the various algorithm implementation Used byThe "Walk on the Sun" STEREO Space Mission Science Exhibit.

racemakr

"RaceMakr" is an interactive installation that makes a racial profile of each visitor based on his or her physical attributes. The installation contains a small screen, set up such that only one visitor can see the screen at a time. When the visitor approaches the screen, it displays only ... [More] the RaceMakr logo. As the visitor stands in front of the screen, the image changes (1), counting down before a picture of the visitor is taken (2). This image is then tested to find the race of the visitor, matching it against a limited profile set that is defined in the program. Once a match has been made, more information on the individual's race is then referenced from another database that stores highly stereotypical conclusions of a particular race type, including but not restricted to: life expectancy, social status, sexual orientation, hygiene, likeliness to commit crimes. This information is displayed on the screen (3), which can be seen by the visitor, as well as read aloud, allowing everyone near the installation to hear the descriptions of the visitor. Afterwards, the visitor's face is displayed along with all of the faces of previous visitors (4), showing a database of faces and labels, before moving back to the RaceMakr logo. This intentionally controversial piece reveals the complexities of racial profiling on several different levels. Its over-simplification of a visitor's identity reveals the dangers of our over-reliance and influence on discrete state machines. The one-way nature of interaction, along with the program's closed visual interface, comment on the veil used by technology to separate its inner workings from those interacting with it. The visitor's simultaneous role of viewer (being the only one who can see the screen) and the viewed (appearing as a performer before the rest of the visitors) draws attention to the power (and vulnerability) of the gaze, particularly in visual stereotyping.
