Abstract:

Abandoned object detection has recently been studied to detect dangerous situations such as illegally dumping explosives. Existing abandoned object detection used background subtraction, which is sensitive to noise and clutters of a similar size in outdoor environments. Unlike existing approaches, this article presents a deep learning-based detection method that is suitable for use in outdoor environments because it is robust to ghost effects and illumination changes. The proposed method consists of three parts: 1) pedestrian detection and tracking; 2) hand luggage detection (HLD); and 3) abandoned object decision. Since the proposed method detects the abandoned object through HLD instead of directly detecting the abandoned object itself, we could successfully improve the detection accuracy and robustness. The proposed method can also detect dangerous weapons or restricted hand luggage through HLD. This article presents an intelligent abandoned object detection system that can be applied for consumer applications.
