Abstract :
The paper presents a method for the detection of abandoned luggage in video surveillance applications. The technique uses a foreground sampling method to localize abandoned luggage in the presence of cluttered scenes. A subsequent approach for person detection is proposed in order to detect the owners of the luggage, by using a combination of skin color detection and a generalized Hough transform for head-and-shoulders detection.
