Abstract
This paper proposes a method to detect emergency situations in a video stream using a Motion History Image (MHI) and AdaBoost for a video-based intelligent surveillance system. The proposed method creates a MHI of each human object through an image processing technique entailing background removal based on Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) followed by labeling and accumulating the foreground images. The obtained MHI is then compared with the existing MHI templates to detect emergency situations. To evaluate the proposed emergency detection method, a set of experiments on a dataset of video clips captured from a surveillance camera were conducted. The results show that we successfully detected emergency situations using the proposed method.
