Feature-based tracking of multiple people for intelligent video surveillance.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intelligent video surveillance is the process of performing surveillance task automatically by a computer vision system. It involves detecting and tracking people in the video sequence and understanding their behavior. This thesis addresses the problem of detecting and tracking multiple moving people with unknown background. We have proposed a feature-based framework for tracking, which requires feature extraction and feature matching. We have considered color, size, blob bounding box and motion information as features of people. In our feature-based tracking system, we have proposed to use Pearson correlation coefficient for matching feature-vector with temporal templates. The occlusion problem has been solved by histogram backprojection. Our tracking system is fast and free from assumptions about human structure. We have implemented our tracking system using Visual C++ and OpenCV and tested on real-world images and videos. Experimental results suggest that our tracking system achieved good accuracy and can process videos in 10-15 fps.Dept. of Computer Science.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
