	      W4: A REAL TIME VISUAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
		  FOR MONITORING  HUMAN ACTIVITIES

			  Ismail Haritaoglu
				UMIACS


W4 is a real time visual surveillance system for detecting and
tracking multiple people and monitoring their activities in an outdoor
environment.  It operates on monocular grayscale video imagery, or on
video imagery from an infrared camera. W4 employs a combination of
shape analysis and tracking to locate people and their parts (head,
hands, feet, torso) and to create models of people's appearance so
that they can be tracked through interactions such as occlusions.  It
can determine whether a foreground region contains multiple people,
and can segment the region into its constituent people and track
them. W4 can also determine whether or not people are carrying
objects, and can segment objects from their silhouette, and constructs
appearance model for them so they can be identified in subsequent
frames. W4 can recognize events between people and objects, such as
depositing an object, exchanging bags, or removing an object.
