Abstract :
A system for automatic event detection in the camera image is presented in this paper. A method of limiting a region of interest to relevant parts of the image using a set of processing procedures is proposed. Image processing includes object detection with shadow removal performed in the modified YCbCr color space instead of RGB. The proposed procedures help to reduce the complexity of image processing algorithm and result in extraction of objects in the image that fulfill the imposed criteria. The selected objects may be then processed by the rule-based event detection system.
