Individual Experiences of Surveillance: Attitudes towards Camera Surveillance in Slovakia

Bayesian Multi-Camera Surveillance

The task of multi-camera surveillance is to reconstruct the paths taken by all moving objects that are temporarily visible from multiple non-overlapping cameras. We present a Bayesian formalization of this task, where the optimal solution is the set of object paths with the highest posterior probability given the observed data. We show how to efficiently approximate the maximum a posteriori sol...

Multiple camera coordination in a surveillance system

In this paper, we present a distributed surveillance system that uses multiple cheap static cameras to track multiple people in indoor environments. The system has a set of Camera Processing Modules and a Central Module to coordinate the tracking tasks among the cameras. Since each object in the scene can be tracked by a number of cameras, the problem is how to choose the most appropriate camer...
