This paper presents a set of techniques for the detection of composite objects in video recordings of a controlled environ- ment. Firstly, a selective region-based analysis is performed by tuning the algorithm to the perceptual characteristics of the object in the environment. Secondly, the controlled per- ceptual and semantic variabilities of the object are addressed by the detection analysis thanks to a frame by frame update of the object models, and by allowing multiple models for a single object. The proposed techniques are illustrated in the detection of laptops from a zenithal view in a smart room.\
