Monitoring Giraffe Behavior in Thermal Video
We present a solution for monitoring nocturnal giraffe behavior by reducing several hours of thermal camera surveillance footage into a short video summary which can be reviewed by experts. We formulate the video summarization task as a tracking problem: frames in which giraffes are successfully tracked are presumed to be typical poses/behaviors and not included in the summary; whereas frames containing track initializations or terminations are presumed to be atypical events and are therefore included in the summary.
