Automatic detection of intruders using a neural network

A system is presented that applies a neural network to a video surveillance system. It consists of a pre-processing unit that extract high level information from images and introduces it in the neural network. This system can learn in operational conditions while under the supervision of an unskilled operator. It uses the error backpropagation learning algorithm in a multilayer perceptron structure. The results obtained show that the system performs well, and with a high degree of efficiency.
