This work aims at real-time in-car video analysis to detect several critical
events in order to alarm and assist police action. Particularly, detecting a
tracked or stopped vehicle is a crucial task for further examination of
suspects, protecting police safety, and remote monitoring from police station.
Some examples of critical events are:
- person running out of the stopped car
- package thrown out of the car during pursuit
- door of stopped car opens
- officer down.
This work employs a comprehensive approach to localize target vehicles in the
video under various environments and illumination conditions. The extracted
geometry features on the moving objects and background are dynamically projected
onto a 1D profile and are constantly tracked. We rely on temporal information of
features for vehicle identification, which compensates for the complexity of
vehicle shapes, colors and types. We investigated videos of day and night, and
different types of roads, proving that our employed approach is robust and
effective.
