Abstract: Surveillance systems have become increasingly sophisticated by combining different types of sensors to enhance performance. In this talk, a surveillance system is presented that introduces an audio array in a video surveillance domain, to explore the use of extracting and indexing "coordinated" audio and video events. An event could be "gathering of more than one person" with the extracted "beam-steered" audio based on the video location. For such a combination of audio and video information the different types of sensors have to be calibrated first, which is done via a dynamic approach based on audio-video observations.
About the speaker: Thorsten Kuehnapfel is a PhD candidate in the Department of Computing, Curtin University of Technology.
Seminars are free and open to all postgraduate students in the Department of Computing and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. No booking is necessary and biscuits, tea and coffee are provided. Seminars are as informal as the speaker desires. If you are not a postgraduate student and wish to attend a seminar you may only do so with the express permission of the relevant speaker(s).
