چکیده

We present a novel inter-camera trajectory association algorithm for partially overlapping visual sensor networks. The approach consists of three steps, namely Extraction, Representation and Association. Firstly, we extract trajectory segments in each camera view independently. These local trajectory segments are then projected on a common-plane. Next, we learn dynamic motion models of the projected trajectory segments using Modified Consistent Akaike’s Information Criterion (MCAIC). These models help in removing noisy observations from a segment and hence perform smoothing efficiently. Then, each smoothed trajectory is represented by its curvature. Finally, we use normalized cross correlation, as a proximity measure, to establish correspondence among trajectories that are observed in multiple views. We evaluated the performance of the proposed approach on a simulated and real scenarios with simultaneous moving objects observed by multiple cameras and compared it with state-of-the-art algorithms. Convincing results are observed in favor of the proposed approach.

Improving Energy-Efficient Target Coverage in Visual Sensor Networks

Target coverage is one of the important problems in visual sensor networks. The coverage should be accompanied with an efficient use of energy in order to increase the network lifetime. In this paper, we address the maximum lifetime for visual sensor networks (MLV) problem by maximizing the network lifetime while covering all the targets. For this purpose, we develop a simulated annealing (SA) ...

Cooperative Estimation of 3D Target Motion via Networked Visual Motion Observer

This paper investigates cooperative estimation of 3D target object motion for visual sensor networks. In particular, we consider the situation where multiple smart vision cameras see a group of target objects. The objective here is to meet two requirements simultaneously: averaging for static objects and tracking to moving target objects. For this purpose, we present a cooperative estimation me...
