About This Special Issue
Video Analytics is a rapidly growing research area with development of algorithms and smart devices like cameras with capabilities to analyze videos that just a few years ago would have required human monitoring. Broadly, video analytics is the extraction of meaningful and relevant information from digital video. The state of the art research in video analytics builds upon research in computer vision, pattern analysis and machine intelligence, and spans several industry segments including surveillance, retail and transportation. It is also called Video Content Analysis (VCA) or Intelligent Video.

Similar to human vision, which has a perceptual and cognitive aspect, video analytics uses computer vision algorithms which enable it to perceive or see, and machine intelligence to interpret, learn and draw inferences. The goal of video analytics is scene understanding In addition to detecting foreground blobs in a video; analytics involves classifying objects/humans, understands the context around the objects/humans, and is able to track the objects/humans through the scene.

Intelligent Video Surveillance is one of the prime application areas of Video Analytics. Smart cameras / systems with analytics software continuously analyze video and can detect the presence of people and vehicles and interpret their activities. Suspicious activities such as loitering or moving into an unauthorized area are automatically flagged and forwarded to security personnel. The purpose of this special issue to motivate the research in algorithm development and smart devices used in Video Analytics.
