Abstract
A method and an alert discriminator for converting alerts in a video monitoring operation. The method comprises: triggering a candidate alert, in response to detecting, in a stream of thermal images of a scene, a stationary foreground object in the scene; evaluating an intensity of the detected stationary foreground object in relation to a background intensity; and in response to the intensity of the detected stationary foreground object being above the background intensity, converting the candidate alert to an actual alert.
