An event based web monitoring environment

In this paper, we present an event based visually monitoring system in a kitchen environment. The system architecture is designed for average users to access the coffee availability as well as for administrators to effectively manage and monitor the coffee pot via a web site. We capture the visual information using web cameras, detect events from the picture sequence and store these events in the database for statistics, retrieval and exploration. In this paper, the volume of coffee and its temperature in the glass coffeepot are regarded as the indicators to trigger event detection and analysis. We build event models to make statistics and estimate the consumptions.
