8:30 – 9:00 Activity-Based Forensic Analysis of Unstructured Video Data Video surveillance systems are one of the largest sources of unstructured surveillance data content. Traditional video archiving and retrieval tools are often geared towards text-based or speech-based video archiving retrieval; and have limited utility for unstructured surveillance video data. This presentation describes how video analytics technology can be used to efficiently extract relevant information from large quantities of archived video data. The presentation covers two approaches for data retrieval: activity-based archiving and retrieval; and automated activity learning. Activity-based archiving and retrieval employs video analytics meta-data tagging of video to extract user-prescribed activities of interest such as illegally parked vehicles; human intrusion detection; and suspicious behaviors such as loitering around secure areas. Automated activity learning uses artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for extracting “unusual” events from unstructured video data – events that could not be prescribed ahead of time.
