Architectures for distributed smart cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes our new multiple-camera architecture for real-time video analysis. This architecture uses an array of relatively inexpensive cameras to gather images in order to provide high resolution at low cost. The system also uses a hierarchy of cameras, including both wide-angle and telephoto views. Wide-angle cameras are responsible for camera coordination while telephoto cameras are primarily responsible for detailed processing of parts of the scene.

Distributed Peer-to-Peer Smart Cameras: Algorithms and Architectures
Advances in VLSI allow us to make cheap cameras and to supply them with powerful processors. To harness these capabilities, we need to move to peer-to-peer networks of smart cameras. Such systems perform distributed video analysis without a central server. Peer-to-peer systems save bandwidth and energy, are cheaper to install, and are more fault-tolerant. The Embedded Systems Group at Princeton...
متن کاملSimultaneous Boundary Partitioning and Cameras Synchronization for Optimal Video Surveillance ?
This paper proposes a real-time distributed algorithm for a team of smart cameras to self-organize and perform video surveillance of an open boundary. In particular, our algorithm simultaneously partitions the boundary among the cameras, and synchronizes the motion of the cameras to optimize the surveillance performance. We focus on the detection of smart intruders, who are aware of the cameras...
متن کاملTowards Pervasive Smart Camera Networks
Smart camera networks are real-time distributed embedded systems that perform computer vision using multiple cameras. This new approach has emerged thanks to a confluence of simultaneous advances in four key disciplines: computer vision, image sensors, embedded computing, and sensor networks. In this chapter, we briefly review and classify smart camera platforms and networks into single smart c...
متن کاملDistributed Dynamic Task Allocation in Clusters of Embedded Smart Cameras
Traditional surveillance systems of the first and second generation employed analog CCTV cameras to capture the observed scene. The video signals were transmitted to the backend system, where the analog signals have been digitized, analyzed and stored by high-performance workstations. Third generation surveillance systems, however, make use of digital cameras, which compress and transmit the vi...
متن کاملDistributed Calibration of Smart Cameras
Localization in sensornets determines the location of sensor nodes, and allows applications to make geographically sensitive queries. Smart camera networks must not only be localized, but calibrated. Calibration goes beyond localization to include orientation and position information that is sufficiently fine-grained to allow fusion between overlapping camera views. This paper introduces Lighth...
