The project culminated in a final demonstration of a modular networked system at Kyocera Stadium at ADO Den Haag football club in the Netherlands on June 25th 2013. It was a highly successful demonstration with great attendance from a great diversity of actors taking an interest in the results.
ADABTS successfully demonstrated that the situational awareness of a human operator can be improved by extending the video analysis across 3D space (multiple views/cameras), using tracking and multiple types of sensors (both video and audio).
Compared to state-of-the-art, the project demonstrated great novelty with;
- implementation of algorithms using Graphical Processor Units (GPU), delivering unprecedented and real-time throughput on low and medium level video analysis algorithms
- motion detection, shadow correction
- volume carving
- optical flow
- camera synchronization
- object tracking
- head/face detection
- privacy enhancing measures, such as selective blurring of persons in the scene
- Multi camera video analysis with real-time automatic synchronization
- 3D reconstruction of the objects in the scene
- Multi-person tracking
- Body orientation estimation
- Automatic unsupervised track data analysis by building a hierarchical clustering of all observed tracklets.
- Sound source localization and classification and assignment of 3D tracks to “loud”
- Single camera interpretation of motion patterns for aggression detection
- Automatic PTZ steering using classified sound source location.
Industrial partners BAE Systems and Detec have already concrete commercialization plans in place, where a number of these functionalities can be implemented in a wide variety of applications.
