Scene Monitoring using Active Cameras

Abstract

Computer vision and machine learning techniques applied to video surveillance and biometrics have been investigated for several years aiming at finding accurate and efficient solutions to allow the execution of smart surveillance systems in real environments. Aiming at the analysis of the scene to recognize and understand suspicious activities performed by humans in the scene, video surveillance and biometrics still face several challenges. A particular challenge is the person identification due to the poor data acquisition condition and the large distance between the cameras and the persons in the scene. In this talk, I will discuss approaches designed to overcome the difficulties faced by person identification in surveillance scenarios covered by a camera network, especially when PTZ cameras are available to gather higher quality information from the monitored scene.

Prof. Matthew Turk

Is FG Enabling a Surveillance Dystopia?

Abstract

Face and gesture recognition technologies hold great promise to improve people’s lives, yet they also raise serious issues with respect to privacy, bias, and serious misuse by individuals, companies, and governments. Some civil liberties and advocacy groups have been increasingly raising warnings and supporting legislation banning such technologies. Many in law enforcement push back, arguing that it saves lives and helps to make us safer. Legislative bodies are trying to decide if and how to address these issues, sometimes with limited information. As technologists, what is our role in this public debate? Are we helping to create a surveillance dystopia? What should we do about it? Let’s discuss.
