Real-Time Background Compensation for PTZ Cameras Using GPU Accelerated and Range-Limited Genetic Algorithm Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a range-limited Genetic Algorithm (GA) search with an accelerated Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) based implementation for background compensation where pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are used. Our method contains GA with search ranges restricted using histogram matching and GPU implementation of the range-limited GA. First, based on histogram matching, estimation of approximate scale (camera zoom) and translation (camera pan and tilt) parameters is used to restrict the ranges for the later GA search. Next, the GA is applied to find an optimal solution. Experimental comparisons of the proposed method to existing methods show that our work has advantages: robust to critical situations due to using GA, and fast processing.

We report an autonomous surveillance system with multiple pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras assisted by a fixed wide-angle camera. The wide-angle camera provides large but low resolution coverage and detects and tracks all moving objects in the scene. Based on the output of the wide-angle camera, the system generates spatiotemporal observation requests for each moving object, which are candidates for...
