In addition, many surveillance systems are frequently left unattended. Because of these reasons, automated analysis of the live video feed and automatic detection of suspicious activity have recently gained importance. To prevent capture of their images, criminals resort to several techniques such as deliberately obscuring the camera view, covering the lens with a foreign object, spraying or defocusing the camera lens. In this paper, we propose some computationally efficient wavelet domain methods for rapid camera tamper detection and identify some real-life problems and propose solutions to these. © 2007 IEEE.EnglishCamerasComputer networksLensesOptical instrumentsVideo amplifiersWavelet transformsAutomated analysisAutomatic detectionCamera viewComputationally efficientConcentration (composition)DefocusingForeign objectsLive videoReal life problemsSurveillance System (MSS)Tamper detectionVideo surveillanceVideo surveillance system (VSS)Wavelet domainsSecurity systemsConference Paper10.1109/AVSS.2007.4425371
