Nowadays, the surveillance and inspection of underwater installations, such as power and telecommunication cables and pipelines, is carried out by trained operators who, from the s...
Salient stimuli, such as color or motion contrasts, attract human attention, thus providing a fast heuristic for focusing limited neural resources on behaviorally relevant sensory...
In this paper, we propose to use the Colored Pattern Appearance Model (CPAM) as a content representation for video scene break detection. This model represents a scene by means of...
Detecting objects of interest from a video sequence is a fundamental and critical task in automated visual surveillance. Those objects can either be moving or stationary. However,...
We present a scalable approach to recognizing and describing complex activities in video sequences. We are interested in long-term, sequential activities that may have several par...
