SCOVIS
Project Abstract
» SCOVIS will significantly improve the versatility and the performance of
the current monitoring systems for security purposes and workflow
control in critical infrastructures.
» SCOVIS will investigate weakly supervised learning algorithms and selfadaptation strategies for analysis of visually observable workflows and
behaviors.
» SCOVIS research links object learning using low-level object descriptors
and procedure learning with adaptation mechanisms and active camera
network coordination under a synergistic approach that combines
largely unsupervised learning and model evolution in a bootstrapping
process;
» SCOVIS involves continuous learning from visual content in order to
enrich the models and, inversely, the direct use of these models to
enhance the extraction.

SCOVIS
Overall Strategy
» The SCOVIS overall approach consists of five main design and
implementation objectives:
-
-
-
-
4
To detect salient objects in a scene, both static and moving and track them
through time, under an attention modeling framework.
To create a network of cameras for the understanding of the events and
behaviors using cameras with overlapping or disjoint views and active
cameras.
To model and understand automatically the workflows/procedures
executed in a workplace in case of a single actor (agent) or for multiple
ones and to provide error correction mechanisms.
To let the system learn from online input, by endowing it with self
evolution and adaptation mechanisms using semi-supervised learning
approaches and relevance feedback.
To evaluate all the above functionalities using appropriate datasets in a
common testbed, so that the merits of their synergy can be exploited in
real world scenarios.

SCOVIS
Expected Outcome
» A methodology for largely unsupervised learning of salient objects,
implemented as an open architecture.
» A methodology and an open architecture for large-scale camera
networks.
» A toolkit for weakly supervised learning and object detection.
(Component 1)
» A toolkit for camera network coordination. (Component 2)
» A toolkit for behavior analysis. (Component 3)
» A toolkit for adaptation mechanisms. (Component 4)
» A testbed which will integrate all above toolkits and will demonstrate
the benefits of the proposed synergies. (managed by Atos )

SCOVIS
Application Domain and Evaluation
» SCOVIS will focus on procedures control. SCOVIS includes an end-user
(NMISA- Nissan Motor Iberica S.A.) to validate the results of the project
in a real world scenario on procedure control especially in the area of
automotive manufacturing.
» The scenario domain selected is an specific area within the
Manufacturing Cell in NMISA facilities.
» SCOVIS will focus to monitor certain assembly activities during the
manufacturing automotive process.

SCOVIS
Brief scenario application description
» SCOVIS’ performance environment will be an specific area within
NMISA car’s factory
» SCOVIS will focus its monitoring and surveillance process to
control the stock replacement during a certain assembly process
within the whole manufacturing automotive process.
» When an abnormal situation (during this process) happened
SCOVIS system will be able to detect and alert this event by
throwing a warning message.
» An abnormal situation could be represented by:
- Lack of car’s part.
- Problems during the supply process.
- Bad car’s part manipulation.

Evaluation Architecture Design
» Object detection and tracking, Consistent monitoring, Behaviour
analysis, Adaptation, Integration platform and User interface, will
be merged in order to have a common view of the architecture,
and being able to interoperate among the different tasks over the
work packages.
» The process of designing so will be iterative and self-adaptive to
the requirements of the interfaces of the subsystems in a
distributed way.
