Demos

Here you are invited to share out available demos related to WP11 topics.

•  Bilkent University: The BilVideo Multimedia Database System, and a Content-Based Retrieval System for Historical Ottoman Documents

Members' Activities

• Analogical and Neural Computing Systems Laboratory of SZTAKI: Video Understanding and Indexing for Surveillance: Image Perception, Quality and Understanding, discussed at http://www.ercim.org/publication/Ercim_News/enw55/sziranyi.html

• Advanced Computer Vision GmbH - ACV: ACV is currently developing a real-time video surveillance system. One of the goals is to detect humans in the video stream and use tracking information to detect unusual behavior. The detection procedure uses a mean-shift approach to segment single persons in crowded scenes. Unusual tracks are detected using an unsupervised clustering and outlier detection procedure
