Introduction

With the rapid growth of video surveillance applications and services, the amount of surveillance videos has become extremely "big" which makes human monitoring tedious and difficult. At the same time, new issues concerning privacy and security have also arised. Therefore, there exists a huge demand for smart and secure surveillance techniques which can perform monitoring in an automatic way. Firstly, the huge abundance of video surveillance data in storage gives rise to the importance of video analysis tasks such as event detection, action recognition, video summarization including person re-identification and anomaly detection. Secondly, with the rich abundance of semantics and the multimodality of data extracted from surveillance videos, it is now essential for the community to tackle new challenges, such as efficient multimodal data processing and compression. Thirdly, with the rapid shift from static singular processing to dynamic collaborative computing, it is now vital to consider distributed and multi-camera video processing on edge- and cloud-based cameras, and at the same time, offering privacy-preserving considerations to safeguard the data. This workshop aims challenge the multimedia community towards extending existing approaches or exploring brave and new ideas.

This is the 6th edition of our workshop. The first five were organized in conjunction with ICME 2019 (Shanghai, China), ICME 2020 (London, UK), ICME 2021 (Shenzhen, China), ICME 2022 (Taipei, Taiwan ROC) and ICME 2023 (Brisbane, Australia).

Graph-based Neural Network Models for Big Surveillance: Moving Object Detection in Challenging Environments

Abstract: This talk is devoted to graph-based models in real-world applications, especially in Moving Object Detection (MOD) that is actually a challenging problem in computer vision. We start by presenting the graph formalism as well as some recent graph-based algorithms for surface surveillance. Despite the promising results they provide, most of them represent a transductive approach that assumes the access to the training and testing data in order to evaluate. Aiming to get rid of this limitation and to be able to address real-world applications, we introduce the Graph Inductive Moving Object Segmentation method (GraphIMOS) based on a Graph Neural Network (GNN) architecture. for surface surveillance. Third, we present a graph-based method for underwater scenes. After analyzing the strategies of each method and showing their limitations, a comparative evaluation on the large scale CDnet2014 dataset as well as on the Fish4knowledge dataset is provided. Finally, we conclude with some potential future research directions. In order to validate the approach, we provide an experimental comparison with some state-of-art methods. We conclude by presenting future research directions in this field.
