Visual surveillance in dynamic scenes is currently one of the most active research topics in computer vision, many existing applications are available. However, difficulties in realizing effective video surveillance systems that are robust to the many different conditions that arise in real environments, make the actual deployment of such systems very challenging. In this article, we present a real, unique and pioneer video surveillance system for boat traffic monitoring, ARGOS. The system runs continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, day and night in the city of Venice (Italy) since 2007 and it is able to build a reliable background model of the water channel and to track the boats navigating the channel with good accuracy in real-time. A significant experimental evaluation, reported in this article, has been performed in order to assess the real performance of the system.

Abstract

Visual surveillance in dynamic scenes is currently one of the most active research topics in computer vision, many existing applications are available. However, difficulties in realizing effective video surveillance systems that are robust to the many different conditions that arise in real environments, make the actual deployment of such systems very challenging. In this article, we present a real, unique and pioneer video surveillance system for boat traffic monitoring, ARGOS. The system runs continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, day and night in the city of Venice (Italy) since 2007 and it is able to build a reliable background model of the water channel and to track the boats navigating the channel with good accuracy in real-time. A significant experimental evaluation, reported in this article, has been performed in order to assess the real performance of the system.
