High Level Description of Video Surveillance Sequences

One of the goals of the ACTS project MODEST is to build an automatic video-surveillance system from a sequence of digital images. The overall system can be divided into the following sub-tasks which are of great interest in the representation of images, namely the automatic segmentation of the video-surveillance sequences, and the extraction of descriptors (such as those in MPEG-7) to represent the objects in the scene and their behaviors.
