Object Detection Binary Classifiers methodology based on deep learning to identify small objects handled similarly: Application in video surveillance

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose and evaluate a two level methodology called ODeBiC, based on the use of deep learning, to improve the detection of small objects that can be handled similarly. The first level uses a detector to select from each input frame the candidate regions with a specific confidence about the presence of each object. Then, the second level analyses these proposals using a binarization technique to identify the objects with higher accuracy. ODeBiC methodology maintains a good accuracy for the detection of large objects as well.

• We analyse the potential of binarization techniques such as, OVA and OVO, to improve the detection of small objects, manipulated with hand, that can be confused with a weapon. As far as we know, this is the first study in analysing such potential.

• We build a new dataset called Sohas_weapon (small objects handled similarly to a weapon, dataset) for the case study of six small objects that are often handled in a similar way to a weapon: pistol, knife, smartphone, bill, purse and card. We used different camera and surveillance camera technologies to take the images. 10% of the images were downloaded from Internet. All these images were manually annotated for the detection task. This useful dataset will be available for other studies (http://sci2s.ugr.es/weapons-detection).
