Selection of negative samples and two-stage combination of multiple features for action detection in thousands of videos

In this paper, a system is presented that can detect 48 human actions in realistic videos, ranging from simple actions such as ‘walk’ to complex actions such as ‘exchange’. We propose a method that gives a major contribution in performance. The reason for this major improvement is related to a different approach on three themes: sample selection...

Detection and tracking of humans from an airborne platform

Airborne platforms are recording large amounts of video data. Extracting the events which are needed to see is a timedemanding task for analysts. The reason for this is that the sensors record hours of video data in which only a fraction of the footage contains events of interest. For the analyst, it is hard to retrieve such events from the...
