The deployment of surveillance systems has captured the interest
of both the research and the industrial worlds in recent years. The
aim of this effort is to increase security and safety in several
application domains such as national security, home and bank
safety, traffic monitoring and navigation, tourism, and military
applications. The video surveillance systems currently in use share
one feature: A human operator must monitor them at all times, thus
limiting the number of cameras and the area under surveillance and
increasing cost. A more advantageous system would have continuous
active warning capabilities, able to alert security officials
during or even before the happening of a crime.
Existing automated surveillance systems can be classified into
categories according to:
- The environment they are primarily designed to observe;
- The number of sensors that the automated surveillance system
can handle;
- The mobility of sensor.
The primary concern of this book is surveillance in an outdoor
urban setting, where it is not possible for a single camera to
observe the complete area of interest. Multiple cameras are
required to observe such large environments. This book discusses
and proposes techniques for development of an automated
multi-camera surveillance system for outdoor environments, while
identifying the important issues that a system needs to cope with
in realistic surveillance scenarios. The goal of the research
presented in this book is to build systems that can deal
effectively with these realistic surveillance needs.
