This paper presents the application of multi dimensional feature reduction of Consistency Subset Evaluator (CSE) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Unsupervised Expectation Maximization (UEM) classifier for imaging surveillance system. Recently, research in image processing has raised much interest in the security surveillance systems community. Weapon detection is one of the greatest challenges facing by the community recently. In order to overcome this issue, application of the UEM classifier is performed to focus on the need of detecting dangerous weapons. However, CSE and PCA are used to explore the usefulness of each feature and reduce the multi dimensional features to simplified features with no underlying hidden structure. In this paper, we take advantage of the simplified features and classifier to categorize images object with the hope to detect dangerous weapons effectively. In order to validate the effectiveness of the UEM classifier, several classifiers are used to compare the overall accuracy of the system with the compliment from the features reduction of CSE and PCA. These unsupervised classifiers include Farthest First, Densitybased Clustering and k-Means methods. The final outcome of this research clearly indicates that UEM has the ability in improving the classification accuracy using the extracted features from the multi-dimensional feature reduction of CSE. Besides, it is also shown that PCA is able to speed-up the computational time with the reduced dimensionality of the features compromising the slight decrease of accuracy.
