A study on implementation of real-time intelligent video surveillance system based on embedded module

Conventional surveillance systems for preventing accidents and incidents do not identify 95% thereof after 22 min when one person monitors a plurality of closed circuit televisions (CCTV). To address this issue, while computer-based intelligent video surveillance systems have been studied to notify users of abnormal situations when they happen, it is not commonly used in real environment because of weakness of personal information leaks and high power consumption. To address this issue, intelligent video surveillance systems based on small devices have been studied. This paper suggests implement an intelligent video surveillance system based on embedded modules for intruder detection based on information learning, fire detection based on color and motion information, and loitering and fall detection based on human body motion. Moreover, an algorithm and an embedded module optimization method are applied for real-time processing. The implemented algorithm showed performance of 88.51% for intruder detection, 92.63% for fire detection, 80% for loitering detection and 93.54% for fall detection. The result of comparison before and after optimization about the algorithm processing time showed 50.53% of decrease, implying potential real-time driving of the intelligent image monitoring system based on embedded modules.
