SARRI: A SmArt Rapiro Robot Integrating a Framework for Automatic High-Level Surveillance Event Detection

Abstract

The aim of our work is to integrate a previously developed framework for high-level surveillance event detection with a smart robot to enhance the monitoring process. More specifically, the robot is able to improve the quality of a video stream, which in our earlier work was recorded from a static camera position, by providing a mobile camera, enabling us to get footage from different angles. Furthermore, a robot platform is able to go beyond just contacting security or the police by taking immediate action when a potentially dangerous event is detected: for instance, picking up an unattended package.
