Intelligent Monitoring and Activity Interpretation Framework – INT

The INT3-Horus framework, dedicated to intelligent monitoring and activity interpretation with special application in advanced surveillance systems, is introduced. INT3-Horus is presented in two parts. This paper introduces the first part which is dedicated to provide a general description of the approach. The following aspects of the proposal are highlighted: the framework is multisensory by nature and includes information fusion abilities; it is based on the model–view–controller paradigm; it is defined as a hybrid distributed system; it incorporates a Common Model that houses the data structures to support the exchange of information between levels of the framework. The currently available INT3-Horus processing levels are also described in this paper. The second part introduces the ontological model of the framework [14].
