Performance evaluation of an intelligent video surveillance system - A case study
Intelligent video surveillance (IVS) technology is on the cusp of moving from early adopters to general acceptance in several markets such as security and business intelligence. This transition has been made possible by embedding computer vision technologies directly into video devices such as cameras, encoders, routers, DVRs, NVRs, and other video management and storage hardware. For this technology to be successful, it is crucial that IVS systems can be deployed easily, without requiring computer vision expertise to customize them for every installation; and that the systems work robustly in a wide range of environments. One of the key enablers to achieve this goal is proper testing. This paper discusses some of the major challenges involved and provides a case study for addressing the problem. One of the key concepts is utilizing fuzzy evaluation to handle boundary conditions. (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
