Networked omnivision arrays for intelligent environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intelligent environments are systems that are aware of the spatial information and activities within them through sensors and interact with people in a natural and unobtrusive way. An intelligent system using networked omnivision array is proposed based on specified requirements of intelligent environments. It utilizes Omni-Directional Vision Sensor (ODVS) network as the sensory input. ODVS optical modeling is described, which allows panoramic and perspective view generation. A 3D tracker based on the ODVS network is constructed. Using the tracking information, active camera selection and dynamic perspective view generation enable real-time face tracking. Face recognition is also implemented for person identification. Current results of the modules and extensions to the system are also discussed.

Video Arrays for Real-Time Tracking of Persons, Head and Face in an Intelligent Room
Real-time 3D person, head and face tracking are critically important for natural interactions among humans in an intelligent environment. Trackers based on multiple networked cameras estimate human positions and heights more accurately and robustly than single camera or binocular trackers. The goal of this paper is to first present a comparative evaluation of two types of 3D tracking systems, n...

This paper describes an innovative intelligent omnivision video system, that stitches the images of four cameras together, resulting in one seamless image. This way the system generates a 360 degree view of the scene. An additional automatically controlled pan-tilt-zoomcamera provides a high resolution view of user defined regions of interest (ROI). In addition to the fusion of multiple camera ...
