Title: Description based person identification in unconstrained surveillance video (2016 - 2019)
PI: Dr Mehul S Raval
Co-PI : Professor Sanjay Chaudhary
Project Collaborator (PC) : Anand Laddha, Scientific Officer, BARC, Trombay
Project Duration: 3 years
Funding Organisation:   Board of Research in Nuclear Science (BNRS), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India

Summary: The goal of the project is to locate a person-of-interest based on specific set of soft biometric attributes from a surveillance video without prior registration. The project will integrate and minimize semantic gap between han input image or a video frame and then uses these features to locate a matching individual in the video streamuman descriptions and soft biometric traits. Moreover it aims at extracting soft biometric features from an input image or a video frame and then uses these features to locate a matching individual in the video stream. This project will add another dimension to surveillance as human cognitive perceptions are used while searching the video streams.
