Unusual Event Detection in Low Resolution Video

Abstract: In real world applications, securing video is more important due to the happening of unusual events. Moving object detection and tracking is difficult in low resolution video and it became a challenging task due to loss of discriminative detail in visual appearance. The existing methods use super resolution techniques to enhance the low resolution video. But these methods are not economical. The cost further increases for event detection. This paper presents an algorithm to detect unusual events without using any super resolution techniques and it is useful for security purpose where low resolution cameras are used due to low cost. This algorithm uses background subtraction technique to detect object of interest from the background. This approach uses close morphological operation with structuring element in pre-processing step. Proposed algorithm is able to detect unusual events such as overcrowding or fight in low resolution video by using standard deviation. It process low resolution frames, so this is fast and helpful in video surveillance system where low resolution cameras are used. Since the use of classifiers is avoided in our algorithm, there is no need of training requirement.
