INTELLIGENT DISTRIBUTED SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS Towards automated wide area visual surveillance: tracking objects between spatially–separated, uncalibrated views
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a solution to the problem of tracking intermittent targets that can overcome long-term occlusions, as well as movement between camera views. Unlike other approaches, our system does not require topological knowledge of the site or labelled training patterns during the learning period. The approach uses the statistical consistency of data obtained automatically over an extended period of time rather than explicit geometric calibration to automatically learn the salient reappearance periods for objects. This allows us to predict where objects may reappear, and within how long. We demonstrate how these salient reappearance periods can be used with a model of physical appearance to track objects between spatially separate regions in single and separated views.

This paper describes a system for visual surveillance for outdoor environments using an intelligent multi camera network. Each intelligent camera uses robust techniques for detecting and tracking moving objects. The system architecture implemented supports the real time capture and storage of object track information into a surveillance database. The tracking data stored in the surveillance dat...
متن کاملPedestrians Tracking in a Camera Network
With the increase of the number of cameras installed across a video surveillance network, the ability of security staffs to attentively scan all the video feeds actually decreases. Therefore, the need for an intelligent system that operates as a tracking system is vital for security personnel to do their jobs well. Tracking people as they move through a camera network with non-overlapping field...

متن کاملUsing Colour Features to Classify Objects and People in a Video Surveillance Network
Visual tracking of humans has proved to be an extremely challenging task for computer vision systems. One idea towards the development of these systems is the incorporation of colour. Often the colour appearance of a person can provide enough information to identify an object or person in the short-term. However, the imprecise nature of colour measurements typically encountered in image process...
