This project is concerned with the classification of long term changes in surveillance scenes, known as static foreground. There has been little work related to the classification of static foreground in surveillance despite its potential role in automatic identification of abandoned bombs and theft. In this project, a thorough literature review of previous techniques was carried out. It was fo...

In Eastern Spain, almond trees have been cultivated in terraced orchards for centuries, forming an integral part of the Mediterranean forest scene. In the last decades, orchards have been abandoned due to changes in society. This study investigates effects of changes in land use from forest to agricultural land and the posterior land abandonment on soil microbial community, and the influence of...

Within dynamic alluvial riverine corridors, abandoned channels form and experience hydrogeomorphic processes that are distinct from similar elevation surfaces along active channels. Compared with the relatively well-studied role of fluvial disturbance on floodplain plant communities along active channels, the drivers of plant diversity and community dynamics along terrestrializing abandoned cha...

In recent years due to various kind of social activities such as theft, bomb attack and other terrorist attack preventive security measures at public places has gained lot of importance. Abandoned Object detection is most crucial task in visual surveillance system. Many Public or open areas are facilitated with cameras at multiple angles to monitor the security of that area for keeping citizens...

With the recent housing crisis, studying abandoned buildings has once again become important. However, it has been some time since abandoned buildings were the subject of direct study, leaving scholars with scant knowledge about the characteristics of abandoned buildings, how they change, and their relationship to neighborhood processes. To fill this gap, we employed longitudinal photographic a...

Research in abandoned object detection is a need now days due to increase in attack by terrorists or anti social elements at public places. The traditional way to observe the places or to track the places is the CCTV cameras. In the current research of detecting abandoned object, the results are not optimal and need more work in this area. This paper discusses the proposed system for detecting ...
