Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Video surveillance can be used to witness or observe a scene and look for specific behaviors in daily life, and it has been widely used for public security, transportation monitoring, and so on. A video surveillance system consists of three parts: a camera system, a transmission system, and an observation system.   
The camera system aims to capture surveillance videos; however, due to the increased video resolution, the volume of video data has also increased significantly, becoming a challenge for storage, transmission, and processing.

In this Special Issue, we would like to highlight new and innovative work focused on intelligent video surveillance systems. We invite you to present high-quality research in one or more areas revolving around the current state of the art and future of intelligent video surveillance systems in practice and theory. In addition, quality manuscripts on surveillance video compression, surveillance video processing, and surveillance video security are of course very welcome.

Recently, end-to-end light field image compression methods have been explored to improve compression efficiency. However, these methods have difficulty in efficiently utilizing multi-domain features and their correlation, resulting in limited improvement in compression performance. To address this problem, a novel multi-domain feature learning-based light field image compression network (MFLFIC-Net) is proposed to improve compression efficiency. Specifically, an EPI-based angle completion module (E-ACM) is developed to obtain a complete angle feature by fully exploring the angle information with a large disparity contained in the epipolar plane image (EPI) domain. Furthermore, in order to effectively reduce redundant information in the light field image, a spatial-angle joint transform module (SAJTM) is proposed to reduce redundancy by modeling the intrinsic correlation between spatial and angle features. Experimental results demonstrate that MFLFIC-Net achieves superior performance on MS-SSIM and PSNR metrics compared to public state-of-the-art methods. Full article

The purpose of semi-supervised video object segmentation (VOS) is to predict and generate object masks in subsequent video frames after being provided with the initial frame’s object mask. Currently, mainstream methods leverage historical frame information for enhancing the network’s performance. However, this approach faces the following issues: (1) They often overlook important shape information, leading to decreased accuracy in segmenting object-edge areas. (2) They often use pixel-level motion estimation to guide the matching for addressing distractor objects. However, this brings heavy computation costs and struggle against occlusion or fast/blurry motion. For the first problem, this paper introduces an object shape extraction module that exploits both the high-level and low-level features to obtain object shape information, by which the shape information can be used to further refine the predicted masks. For the second problem, this paper introduces a novel object-level motion prediction module, in which it stores the representative motion features during the training stage, and predicts the object motion by retrieving them during the inference stage. We evaluate our method on benchmark datasets compared with recent state-of-the-art methods, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Full article

The escalating use of security cameras has resulted in a surge in images requiring analysis, a task hindered by the inefficiency and error-prone nature of manual monitoring. In response, this study delves into the domain of anomaly detection in CCTV security footage, addressing challenges previously encountered in analyzing videos with complex or dynamic backgrounds and long sequences. We introduce a three-stage deep learning architecture designed to detect abnormalities in security camera videos. The first stage employs a pre-trained convolutional neural network to extract features from individual video frames. Subsequently, these features are transformed into time series data in the second stage, utilizing a blend of bidirectional long short-term memory and multi-head attention to analyze short-term frame relationships. The final stage leverages relative positional embeddings and a custom Transformer encoder to interpret long-range frame relationships and identify anomalies. Tested on various open datasets, particularly those with complex backgrounds and extended sequences, our method demonstrates enhanced accuracy and efficiency in video analysis. This approach not only improves current security camera analysis but also shows potential for diverse application settings, signifying a significant advancement in the evolution of security camera monitoring and analysis technologies.
