摘要:
A computer identifies a proto-object in a digital image using a background subtraction method, the proto-object being associated with a lighting artifact in the surveillance region. The background subtraction method preserves boundary details and interior texture details of proto-objects associated with lighting artifacts. A plurality of characteristics of the proto-object digital data are determined, the characteristics, individually or in combination, distinguish a proto-object related to a lighting artifact from its background. A learning machine, trained with the plurality of characteristics of proto-objects classified as either foreground or not foreground, determines a likelihood that the plurality of characteristics is associated with a foreground object.

Human behavior alerts are determined from a video stream through application of video analytics that parse a video stream into a plurality of segments, wherein each of the segments are either temporally related to at least one of a plurality of temporally distinct transactions in an event data log; or they are each associated with a pseudo transaction marker if not temporally related to at least one of the temporally distinct transactions and an image analysis indicates a temporal correlation with at least one of the distinct transactions is expected. Visual image features are extracted from the segments and one-SVM classification is performed on the extracted features to categorize segments into inliers or outliers relative to a threshold boundary. Event of concern alerts are issued with respect to the inlier segments associated with the associated pseudo transaction marker.

An approach that automatically distinguishes between in-store customers and in-store employees is provided. In one embodiment, there is a learning tool configured to construct a model for an in-store employee; and a classifying tool, further comprising matching tool configured to: match attributes between a particular person and the constructed models for an in-store employee, the classifying tool configured to: classify persons into categories of employees and customers based on amount of matching attributes between a particular person and the model for an in-store employee.

An approach that detects potentially fraudulent transactions is provided. In one embodiment, there is a fraud detection tool including, an identification component configured to identify a first person present within a zone of interest at a point of sale (POS) device using a set of sensor devices; a transaction component configured to determine whether the POS device has performed a first transaction and a second transaction while the first person is present within the zone of interest at the POS device; an analysis component configured to: analyze a transaction type of the first transaction and the second transaction; and detect whether the second transaction is potentially fraudulent based on a determination of whether the POS device has performed a first transaction and a second transaction while the first person is within the zone of interest at the POS device, and an analysis of the transaction type of the second transaction.

An approach that dynamically learns a set of attributes of an operator of a point of sale (POS) is provided. In one embodiment, there is an attribute tool, including an extraction component configured to receive sensor data of a set of moving objects, and extract a set of attributes from each of the set of moving objects captured within the scan area at the POS; an identification component configured to update an appearance model with the set of attributes from each of the set of moving objects; and an analysis component configured to analyze the appearance model to identify at least one of the set of moving objects as an operator of the POS.

摘要:
In an embodiment, automated analysis of video data for determination of human behavior includes providing a programmable device that segments a video stream into a plurality of discrete individual frame image primitives which are combined into a visual event that may encompass an activity of concern as a function of a hypothesis. The visual event is optimized by setting a binary variable to true or false as a function of one or more constraints. The optimized visual event is processed in view of associated non-video transaction data and the binary variable by associating the optimized visual event with a logged transaction if associable, issuing an alert if the binary variable is true and the optimized visual event is not associable with the logged transaction, and dropping the optimized visual event if the binary variable is false and the optimized visual event is not associable.
