Two fundamental pillars of Software Engineering practice are formalism and structure. Formalism allows engineers to reason rigorously about the system in hand; structure allows them to understand its purposes and behaviours. In the constructive activity of system development structure must therefore take precedence. The central role of formalism is to check and verify — or, where necessary, correct — the products of more informal modes of thought. In this talk these ideas are explored in the context of an illustrative system. The large structure of the system functionality is discussed, together with the nature of the components of that structure. Informal criteria of functional simplicity are presented. The inescapable mismatch between an intelligible functional structure and implementable software architecture is exposed. The role of formalism in these concerns is suggested.","PeriodicalId":332995,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130808377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The core of such a system is the increasingly intelligent and robust video analytics that are capable of analysing the videos from low-level image appearance and feature extraction to mid-level object/event detection to high-level reasoning and scene understanding. While great strides have been made in researching the issues underlying the above capabilities by academia and industry labs over the last decade, the race is now on the applications of these in integrated systems, providing automated solutions for realistic surveillance problems. This panel discussion paper attempts to outline some of the issues arising from such a transformation, the way forward towards meeting end users' needs, and the aspects of on-going industry R&D activities. Questions are raised as to how to bridge the gap between the video analytics research and system applications and solutions in the market place.","PeriodicalId":332995,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123976287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional clay-based methods attempt to reconstruct the face so as to enable identification of the deceased by members of the general public. However, these reconstructions lack consistency from practitioner to practitioner and it has been shown that the human recognition of these reconstructions against a photo gallery of potential victims is little better than chance. In this talk we discuss the automation of the reconstruction process. For a given skull, a data-driven 3D generative model of the face is constructed using a database of CT head scans. The reconstruction can be constrained based on prior knowledge such as age and or weight. To determine whether or not these reconstructions have merit, geometric methods for comparing reconstructions against a gallery of facial images are proposed. First, active appearance models are used to automatically detect a set of facial landmarks on each image. These landmarks are associated with 3D points on the reconstruction. Direct comparison of the reconstruction is problematic since in general the camera geometry used for image capture is unknown and there are uncertainties associated with the reconstruction and landmark detection processes. The first method of comparison uses constrained optimization to determine the optimal projection of the reconstruction on to the image. Residuals are then analyzed resulting in a ranking of the gallery. The second method uses boosting to learn which points are both reliable and discriminating. This results in a match/no-match classifier. Experimental evidence indicating that skull recognition from facial images can be achieved is presented.","PeriodicalId":332995,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134540296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automatic separation of layers from color/contrast or from stereo alone is known to be error-prone. Here, color, contrast and stereo matching information are fused to infer layers accurately and efficiently. The stereo-match likelihood is then fused with a contrast-sensitive color model that is learned on the fly, and stereo disparities are obtained by dynamic programming. Our \"layered graph cut\" (LGC) algorithm, does not directly solve stereo. Instead the stereo match likelihood is marginalized over disparities to evaluate foreground and background hypotheses, and then fused with a contrast-sensitive color model. Segmentation is solved efficiently by graph cut optimization. In a recent development, this segmentation procedure has been used, in turn, to improve the efficiency of stereo matching, by exploiting Panum fusional bands that are well known to operate in human stereo vision.","PeriodicalId":332995,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127466884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
