Overview of Recent Advances in CCTV Processing Chain in the INDECT and INSIGMA Projects

Intelligent monitoring is currently one of the most prominent research areas. Numerous aspects of such schemes need to be addressed by implementation of various modules covering a wide range of algorithms, beginning from video analytic modules, through quality assessment, up to integrity verification. The goal of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the most recent research results regarding various aspects of the video surveillance processing chain. Specifically, the paper describes a scheme for automatic recognition of the make and model of passing vehicles, the state-of-the-art in quality assessment for recognition tasks, and a system for verification of digital evidence integrity. Concluding remarks highlight the perspectives for further development of the described techniques, and the related research directions.
