Many public or open areas are facilitated with cameras at every angle to monitor the security of that area for keeping the citizens safe, which is known as the surveillance system. For this moment, the best solution to approach a safety environment has to be done by human. Even though a human is the most intelligent creature in this world, still there are some shortcomings from the existing way. Because of these kinds of shortcomings, human keeps finding new discoveries to replace them and make the best of it. In order to support this surveillance system, a recognition and tracking system is built to detect an abandoned luggage in the public transportation area such as train central station and airport. The goal of this project is to design and implement an algorithm which will be able to detect abandoned luggage using the captured images or videos from the camera as the input of the system. The algorithm realizes image segmentation and image tracking, creates blobs of objects, labels the blobs and finally gives warning when an abandoned luggage is detected. Also a database is developed to store all the media data.
