Over the past decade, we have witnessed a tremendous growth in the demand for personal security and defense of vital infrastructure throughout the world. At the same time, rapid advances in video-based surveillance have emerged and offered a strategic technology to address the demands imposed by security applications. These events have led to a massive research effort devoted to the development of effective and reliable surveillance systems endowed with intelligent video-processing capabilities. As a result, advanced video-based surveillance systems have been developed by research groups from academia and industry alike. In broad terms, advanced video-based surveillance could be described as intelligent video processing designed to assist security personnel by providing reliable real-time alerts and to support efficient video analysis for forensics investigations.

Abstract
Over the past decade, we have witnessed a tremendous growth in the demand for personal security and defense of vital infrastructure throughout the world. At the same time, rapid advances in video-based surveillance have emerged and offered a strategic technology to address the demands imposed by security applications. These events have led to a massive research effort devoted to the development of effective and reliable surveillance systems endowed with intelligent video-processing capabilities. As a result, advanced video-based surveillance systems have been developed by research groups from academia and industry alike. In broad terms, advanced video-based surveillance could be described as intelligent video processing designed to assist security personnel by providing reliable real-time alerts and to support efficient video analysis for forensics investigations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
