Smart Surveillance: Deep Learning and Hybrid Approaches for Dynamic Scene Analysis, Object Detection and Motion Tracking

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper evaluates event-triggered recording strategies for static surveillance cameras, comparing six motion-based triggers, a CNN detector, strided detection, and hybrid approaches on a benchmark of seven scenes. Detector-based triggers reduce idle frame storage to 19‑28% versus 36‑89% for motion triggers, and remain robust under camera jitter, keeping under 29% idle frames. In addition, the study shows that increasing YOLO11n input resolution improves detection accuracy more than larger models, and that longer track memory boosts tracking IDF1, though detection remains the limiting factor.

Albireo: Adaptive, Energy-Efficient Inference Framework for Video Object Detection on the Edge

Albireo is an adaptive, energy‑efficient inference framework for video object detection on edge devices that wraps existing detectors without modification. It uses a 10‑dimensional Kalman filter per active object to decide when to skip detector calls, predicting bounding boxes on skipped frames at near‑zero GPU cost. Evaluated on BDD100K with YOLO and RF‑DETR detectors on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor and Orin, Albireo maintains AP@50 within ±1.2 pp of full‑frame inference while reducing energy consumption by 12.1–17.6 % and improving accuracy for some models.

Tetris: Tile-level Sampling for Efficient and High-Fidelity Video Object Tracking

Tetris is a video object tracking system that uses tile-level sampling to efficiently extract high‑fidelity tracks. It partitions videos into tile‑based polyominoes, classifies relevant tiles, prunes redundant ones with an ILP under a user‑defined accuracy constraint, and packs the remaining polyominoes to minimize detector calls. On seven stationary‑video datasets, Tetris maintains less than a 5% loss in tracking accuracy while achieving up to 17.4× higher throughput than prior systems and up to 68.8× higher than a full‑frame reference pipeline.
