TITLE: WATCH-LIST BASED CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
*****************
ABSTRACT OF WORK:
Watch-list based classification and verification is advantageous in a variety of Surveillance applications. In this work we develop an approach for verifying if a query image lies in a predefined set of Target samples (the Watch-list) or not. This approach is particularly useful
since we aim at identifying a small set of Target people and therefore can render high levels of accuracy. Further this approach can also be extended to identify the query image exactly out of the target samples. Here we have used a combination of color and texture features to represent the image and further using Kernel Partial Least Squares for dimensionality reduction followed by a classifier. This approach provides improved accuracy as compared with rank based SVM classification on 3 datasets.
