Abstract

The rapid advancement in digital image acquisition and transmission technologies poses challenges in processing vast volumes of video information streams. Images serve as crucial sources of decision-making information across a wide range of tasks. Key objectives addressed by intelligent video surveillance systems include object identification, trajectory determination, object speed measurement, and real-time detection of critical events for securing premises. Among the primary operations in intelligent video surveillance systems is the extraction of object contours from images, as contours contain essential information for object recognition based on their shape. This approach excludes internal image points, significantly reducing the amount of processed information and enabling real-time image analysis. Contour analysis encompasses methods for selecting, describing, and processing image contours to describe, store, compare, and search for objects based on their external contours. This methodology effectively addresses fundamental challenges in pattern recognition, such as transferring, rotating, and scaling object images. The paper discusses prominent contour analysis methods and presents software implementations of algorithms for extracting object outlines in intelligent video surveillance systems. A promising future direction involves synthesizing algorithms that extract object contours using a two-scale statistical image model.

Keywords: object image contours, contour analysis, intelligent video surveillance systems, object detection, object tracking, digital image processing.
