The aim of this research was to apply an agent approach to wireless sensor network in order to construct a distributed, automated scene surveillance. Wireless sensor network using visual nodes is used as a framework for developing a scene understanding system to perform smart surveillance. Current methods of visual surveillance depend on highly train personnel to detect suspicious activity. However, the attention of most individuals degrades after 20 minutes of evaluating monitor-screens. Therefore current surveillance systems are prompt to failure. An automated object detection and tracking was developed in order to build a reliable visual surveillance system. Object detection is performed by means of a background subtraction technique known as Wronskian change detection. After discovery, a multi-agent tracking system tracks and follows the movement of each detected object. The proposed system provides a tool to improve the reliability and decrease the cost related to the personnel dedicated to inspect the monitor-screens

Detection of human for visual surveillance system provides most important rule for advancement in the design of future automation systems. Human detection and tracking are important for future automatic visual surveillance system (AVSS). In this paper we have proposed a flexible technique for proper human detection and tracking for the design of AVSS. We used graph cut for segment human as a foreground image by eliminating background, extract some feature points by using HOG, SVM classifier for proper classification and finally we used particle filter for tracking those of detected human. Our system can easily detect and track humans in poor lightening conditions, color, size, shape, and clothing due to the use of HOG feature descriptor and particle filter. We use graph cut based segmentation technique, therefore our system can handle occlusion at about 88%. Due to the use of HOG to extract features our system can properly work in indoor as well as outdoor environments with 97.61% automatic human detection and 92% automatic human detection and tracking accuracy of multiple human
