Decomposition (How would you break down your problem into sub-

problems?

Iteration 1 Sub-problems:
- Separate background to detect movement
- Identify packages and people
Problem Identification - Track packages and people
How can we analyze surveillance video so we can
identify potentially suspicious packages at an airport
(to warn a security officer)? Pattern Recognition (Are there related solutions to draw on?)

When people leave a package alone, that often

To set up your qualifies as "suspicious behavior."

Abstraction (How would you abstract this problem?)

Relevant information: people, movement, and

packages.

Less relevant information that can be ignored:
