SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM FOR SUSPICIOUS VEHICULAR MOVEMENT

Abstract

The use of video surveillance for security purposes had received significant attention as a result of its versatility and compactness of usage in places like stores, malls, banking halls, and schools among others. Recently, the increase in insurgence and the use of vehicles as ammunition payloads, especially to soft targets have given rise to the need for automatic detection and tracking of suspicious vehicular movements. This paper presents a method for detecting suspicious vehicular movement. In this approach, the pixels of moving vehicles were extracted in wavelet subband differencing of video clips. The system uses field measurements and surveillance camera parameters to detected suspicious vehicular movements. As a result, the presented system provides a reliable automatic suspicious detecting machine. The experimental results were validated with speed limiters installed vehicles. Thus, the system is suitable for detecting suspicious movement.
