Human detection in CCTV screenshot using fine-tuning VGG-19

Abstract

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems have generated a vast amount of visual data crucial for security and surveillance purposes. Effectively categorizing security level types is vital for maintaining asset security effectively. This study proposes a practical approach for classifying CCTV screenshot images using visual geometry group (VGG-19) transfer learning, a convolutional neural network (CNN) classification model that works really well in image classification. The task in classification compromise of categorizing screenshots into two classes: “humans present” and “no humans present.” Fine-tuning VGG-19 model attained 98% training accuracy, 98% validation accuracy, and 85% test accuracy for this classification. To evaluate its performance, we compared fine-tuning VGG-19 model with another method. The VGG-19-based fine-tuning model demonstrates effectiveness in handling image screenshots, presenting a valuable tool for CCTV image classification and contributing to the enhancement of asset security strategies.
