In this paper we propose multiple cameras using real time tracking for surveillance and security system. It is extensively used in the research field of computer vision applications, like that video surveillance, authentication systems, robotics, pre-stage of MPEG4 image compression and user inter faces by gestures. The key components of tracking for surveillance system are extracting the feature,...
This work obtains shaking-free route panoramas from a vehicle borne camera. We detect the shaking and waving profile of the camera and rectify a long route panorama automatically for an ideal parallel-perspective projection. Different from the traditional flow based approach that works on entire frame by point tracking, we create a stationary blurred temporal image called condensed slice during the...
This paper presents a method for rectifying video sequences from rolling shutter (RS) cameras. In contrast to previous RS rectification attempts we model distortions as being caused by the 3D motion of the camera. The camera motion is parametrised as a continuous curve, with knots at the last row of each frame. Curve parameters are solved for using non-linear least squares over inter-frame correspondences...
Vehicle velocity estimation is an important aspect of intelligent transportation systems. Normally velocity is estimated using dedicated laser speed traps and Doppler radars. Recently, the use of cameras is becoming more common for the purpose of traffic surveillance and smart surveillance system. It is thus the aim of this paper to propose a method for vehicle speed estimation using these existing...
The utilisation of a network of heterogeneous sensors to track humans and analyse their behaviours in indoor environment is essential due to the high risk of occlusions. For this purpose, the Bayesian Occupancy (BOF) filter was shown efficient to fuse data coming from infrared and visible cameras by providing the occupancy/velocity probability distributions of each spatial cell of the grid representation...
We present an approach for real-time tracking of a non-rigid target with a moving pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. The tracking of the object and control of the camera is handled by one computer in real time. The main contribution of the paper is method for target representation, localisation and detection, which takes into account both foreground and background properties, and is more discriminative than...
We present here a prototype of an algorithm for vehicle speed estimation. Different from previous approaches, our algorithm requires no road markers and fewer manual calibrations. Based on specific projection rules, we find a relation between the in-camera coordinate and the real world coordinate. A non-linear regression is employed to estimate the model parameters. This model enables us to estimate...
Due to the recent progress in computer vision to interpret images and sequence of images, the video camera is a promising sensor for traffic monitoring and traffic surveillance at low cost. This paper focuses on the detection and tracking of multiple vehicles present in the field of view of a camera. Until now, the vehicle detection has been mainly performed by the widely used technique called background...
The aim of the paper is to present an approach for the localization of moving objects in a multi-camera system that is based on the estimation of observed objects' possible groundplane locations and motion statistics aggregation. It is flexible, it can handle arbitrary number of cameras. It uses only location and motion statistics and do not depend on appearance information. Due to its statistical...
Recent advances in electronics and sensor design have enabled the development of a hyperspectral video camera, which can capture hyperspectral datacubes at near video rates. In this work, we show how high-speed hyperspectral imaging can be used to address several challenging problems in video surveillance. In particular, we combine traditional methods for hyperspectral image analysis and computer...
In the paper, we propose a fall detection method based on head tracking within a smart home environment equipped with video cameras. A motion history image and code-book background subtraction are combined to determine whether large movement occurs within the scene. Based on the magnitude of the movement information, particle filters with different state models are used to track the head. The head...
In modern intelligent transportation systems, the video image vehicle detection system (VIVDS) is gradually becoming one of the popular methods at signalized traffic intersection due to its convenient installation and rich information content provided. However, in the current VIVDS, the camera usually is installed at the roadside poles or traffic light poles, which not only requires more than one...
In recent years, in the surveillance system which observes the behavior of human invasion to building or indoor, it is required not only to capture the high quality and wide area image, but also to automatically track to the specific suspicious person in real-time to reduce the number of the required surveillance cameras. While these installations have included a number of video streams, they have...
This paper describes a prototype system for performing handover between cameras with non-overlapping views. The design is being used to identify problems that may arise in the development of a larger, more capable, and fully automatic system. If there is no information about the spatio-temporal relationship between cameras to assist in matching individuals, similarities in appearance may be used....
This paper introduces a synchronization methodology for distributed vision based sensor networks with clock skew or variable frame rates. The methodology requires a ballistic or otherwise predictive object to be tracked by the sensor network and used to calibrate the clock skew and/or relative variable frame rates between the cameras. The relative time stamp of each image captured can be extracted...
In this paper we describe a multi-camera traffic monitoring system relying on the concept of probability fusion maps (PFM) to detect vehicles in a traffic scene. In the PFM, traffic images from multiple cameras are inverse perspective-mapped and registered onto a common reference frame, combining the multiple camera information to reduce the impact of occlusions. Although the unconstrained perspective...
