Multi-camera calibration, object tracking and query generation

چکیده
An automatic object tracking and video summarization method for multi-camera systems with a large number of non-overlapping field-of-view cameras is explained. In this framework, video sequences are stored for each object as opposed to storing a sequence for each camera. Objectbased representation enables annotation of video segments, and extraction of content semantics for further analysis. We also present a novel solution to the inter-camera color calibration problem. The transitive model function enables effective compensation for lighting changes and radiometric distortions for large-scale systems. After initial calibration, objects are tracked at each camera by background subtraction and mean-shift analysis. The correspondence of objects between different cameras is established by using a Bayesian Belief Network. This framework empowers the user to get a concise response to queries such as “which locations did an object visit on Monday and what did it do there?”

Multi people tracking across multiple cameras
Multi-target tracking (MTT) is an active and challenging research topic. Many different approaches to MTT problem exist, yet there are still few satisfactory methods of solving multi-target occlusion problem, which often appears in multi-target tracking task. The application of multi cameras in most existing researches for multi-target occlusion requires camera calibration parameters in advance...

Object tracking through multiple cameras is a popular research topic in security and surveillance systems especially when human objects are the target. However, occlusion is one of the challenging problems for the tracking process. This paper proposes a multiple-camera-based cooperative tracking method to overcome the occlusion problem. The paper presents a new model for combining convolutiona...
متن کاملExternal Camera Calibration for Synchronized Multi-video Systems
We present a method for external camera calibration that is simple to use and offers generality in the positioning of the cameras. This makes it very suitable for the calibration of mobile, synchronized camera setups. We use a camera graph to perform global registration which helps lifting restrictions on the camera setup imposed by other calibration methods. A further advantage is that all inf...
متن کاملCalibration of Depth Camera Arrays
Depth cameras are increasingly used for tasks such as 3-D reconstruction, user pose estimation, and humancomputer interaction. Depth-camera systems comprising multiple depth sensors require careful calibration. In addition to conventional 2-D camera calibration, depth correction for each individual device is necessary. In this paper, we present a new way of solving the multi depth-camera calibr...
متن کاملKNIGHT: A Multi-Camera Surveillance System
In this paper, we present an automated wide area surveillance system that detects, tracks, classifies moving objects across multiple cameras. In addition, it detects unusual activities carried out by objects in the area under observation. At the single camera level, objects are detected using a robust background subtraction approach, then tracking is performed using a voting scheme that utilize...
