In this paper, we present an object detection and tracking algorithm for low-frame-rate applications. We extend the standard mean-shift technique such that is is not limited within a single kernel but uses multiple kernels centered around high motion areas obtained by change detection. We also improve the convergence properties of the mean-shift by integrating two additional likelihood terms us...

High frame-rate offers benefits of robust and accurate camera tracking for rapid motion. However, the benefits are generally understated arguing that it is not possible to operate on high frame-rates due to stringent processing budgets and that even today 1060Hz is treated as a standard real-time frame-rate range. How exactly does the choice of a given frame-rate varies as computational budget ...

Video surveillance is watching an area for significant events. Perimeter security generally requires watching areas that afford trespassers reasonable cover and concealment. Almost by definition such “interesting” areas have limited visibility distance. These situations call for a wide field of view, and are a natural application for omni-directional VSAM. This paper summarizes our ongoing effo...
