In the current fast paced life, security has become an important aspect which cannot be ignored. One of the usually neglected but important division of security in public areas involves the unattended objects. Bombs and other harmful objects that are incendiary cause great harm. And in most of the cases such objects are left unattended for some time before causing harm. As such, unattended objects should be given importance and must be checked to ensure safety. This paper shows a method to identify unattended objects in public areas. This is done by comparing a fixed/initial background frame with frames after a fixed interval. If there is a change in the frames, then that refers to an attended object. No change observed, proves an unattended object which is highlighted by a box. This is done with the help of blob analysis. This paper does this with the help of MATLAB. MATLAB being a software accessible to wide range of people provides an easy process with moderate results. It uses a wide range of predefined functions and toolboxes to do this.
