Description When there are hundreds or thousands of cameras producing video streams all day long it is very useful to have an algorithm that analyzes such streams instead of a human. Today such technology exists and is called convolutional neural networks for video classification [1]. The downside of such neural networks is that we have a fixed number of cases on which the net is trained which is ok for benchmarking our algorithm on a specific dataset but not for real life applications such as security cameras where we don’t know specifically for which scene the algorithm should give an alert signal. So we need to produce an abstract representation of the video scene (embedding)[2] and to classify it in an unsupervised way [3].

Planned Activities
The first part of this thesis will be research state of the art algorithms for video
classification and clustering.
The second part of the project will be devoted to the implementation of such
algorithms and testing on real datasets.
Addfor will provide data sets of real-time image sequences obtained in different
weather conditions and in non-optimal conditions (flickering and jittering) that
represent the common difficulties found on real computer vision tasks.
The final purpose of the thesis will be to define an algorithm which starting
from a video sequence will classify similar sequences as belonging to the same
cluster in order to give an alert signal when there is an anomalous [4] sequence
belonging to an unknown cluster.
