Abstract:
Recent advancement of research in biometrics, computer vision, and natural language processing has discovered opportunities for person retrieval from surveillance videos using a textual query. The prime objective of a surveillance system is to locate a person using a description, e.g., a tall man with a white t-shirt and blue jeans carrying a backpack. He has brown hair. Such a description contains attributes like gender, height, type of clothing, colour of clothing, hair colour, and accessories. Such attributes are formally known as soft biometrics. They help bridge the semantic gap between a human description and a machine as a textual query contains the person's soft biometric attributes. Traditional biometric (e.g., face) fails to locate a person in the surveillance video due to low resolution, distance, and unconstrained environment. In such cases, soft biometric attributes like gender, clothing colour, and type are still deducible. It is also not feasible to manually search through huge volumes of surveillance footage to retrieve a specific person. Hence, automatic person retrieval using vision and language-based algorithms is becoming popular.

Topic: A non-conventional lightweight Auto Regressive Neural Network for accurate and energy efficient target tracking in Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract:
The design of an energy-efficient tracking framework is a well-investigated issue and a prominent sensor network application. The current research state shows a clear scope for developing algorithms that can work, accompanying both energy efficiency and accuracy. The prediction-based algorithms can save network energy by carefully selecting suitable nodes for continuous target tracking. However, the conventional prediction algorithms are confined to fixed motion models and generally fail in accelerated target movements. The neural networks can learn any non-linearity between input and output as they are model-free estimators. To design a lightweight neural network-based prediction algorithm for resource-constrained tiny sensor nodes is a challenging task. This research aims to develop a simpler, energy-efficient, and accurate network-based tracking scheme for linear and non-linear target movements. The proposed technique uses an autoregressive model to learn the temporal correlation between successive samples of a target trajectory. The simulation results are compared with the traditional Kalman filter (KF), Interacting Multiple models (IMM), Current Statistical model (CSM), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF) based tracking approach. It shows that the proposed algorithm can save up to 70% of network energy with improved prediction accuracy.
