A Smart Camera for Traffic Surveillance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The integration of advanced CMOS image sensors with high-performance processors into an embedded system facilitates new application classes such as smart cameras. A smart camera combines video sensing, video processing and communication within a single device. This paper reports on the prototype implementation of a smart camera for traffic surveillance. It captures a video stream, computes traffic information and transfers the compressed video stream and the traffic information to a network node. The achieved experimental results of the implemented stationary vehicle detection demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.

Vehicle Traffic Driven Camera Placement for Better Metropolis Security Surveillance
Security surveillance is one of the most important issues in smart cities, especially in an era of terrorism. Deploying a number of (video) cameras is a common surveillance approach. Given the never-ending power offered by vehicles to metropolises, exploiting vehicle traffic to design camera placement strategies could potentially facilitate security surveillance. This article constitutes the fi...
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...
