Abandoned object identification and detection system for railways in India

Video surveillance systems used in places such as airports, train stations or different public spaces, can bring security to an upper level. The video surveillance systems that are used for security reasons require more intellectual and more robust technical directives. The proposed work compares different methods to detect abandoned baggage in a public area as well as introduces an abandoned luggage detection system for places like railway stations in India. With worries about worldwide security on the ascent, it has turned out to be crucial to have set up proficient risk recognition frameworks that can identify and perceive possibly risky circumstances, and alert the authorities to make a suitable move. This work depicts a framework that perceives the event of somebody leaving baggage unattended in railway stations either intentionally or mistakenly. As tracking of intentionally left baggage is a major problem as it imposes serious security risks in countries like India which has world's largest railway system. Also, proper tracking of mistakenly left baggage is another issue to resolve. The proposed system invokes an alarm whenever it encounters a left baggage as well as generates information about the baggage: its color, date and time when the baggage was left.
