We propose a time-gated-single-pixel-camera as promising sensor for image-free object detection automotive application in adverse weather conditions. By combining the well-known principles of time-gating and single-pixel with neural networks, we aim to ultimately detect objects within scene rapidly robustly low-cost sensor. Here, evaluate possible data reduction such system can provide compared...

with the increase of the number of cameras installed across a video surveillance network, the ability of security staffs to attentively scan all the video feeds actually decreases. therefore, the need for an intelligent system that operates as a tracking system is vital for security personnel to do their jobs well. tracking people as they move through a camera network with non-overlapping field...

This paper introduces a methodology for robustly estimating a planar tracking correspondence model (TCM) for a large camera network directly from tracking data and for using that model to track objects through multiple cameras. By exploiting the characteristics of tracking data, our method can robustly estimate a planar TCM in large environments covered by many cameras. It is robust to scenes w...

Non intrusive monitoring of animals in the wild is possible using camera trapping framework, which uses cameras triggered by sensors to take a burst of images of animals in their habitat. However camera trapping framework produces a high volume of data (in the order on thousands or millions of images), which must be analyzed by a human expert. In this work, a method for animal species identific...

The Viewing Graph [1] represents several views linked by the corresponding fundamental matrices, estimated pairwise. Given a Viewing Graph, the tuples of consistent camera matrices form a family that we call the Solution Set. This paper provides a theoretical framework that formalizes different properties of the topology, linear solvability and number of solutions of multi-camera systems. We sy...

With the evolution and fusion of wireless sensor network and embedded camera technologies, distributed smart camera networks have emerged as a new class of systems for wide-area surveillance applications. Wireless networks, however, introduce a number of constraints to the system that need to be considered, notably the communication bandwidth constraints. Existing approaches for target tracking...

Multi-camera networks have gained great interest in video-based surveillance systems for security monitoring, access control, etc. Person re-identification is an essential and challenging task in multi-camera networks, which aims to determine if a given individual has already appeared over the camera network. Individual recognition often uses faces as a trial and requires a large number of samp...

We present a stochastic state-space quality metric for use in controlling active camera networks aimed at 3D vision tasks such as surveillance, motion tracking, and 3D shape/appearance reconstruction. Specifically, the metric provides an estimate of the aggregate steady-state uncertainty of the 3D resolution of the objects of interest, as a function of camera parameters such as pan, tilt, and z...

Video stabilization technique is essential for most handheld captured videos due to high-frequency shakes. Several 2D-, 2.5Dand 3D-based stabilization techniques are well studied, but to our knowledge, no solutions based on deep neural networks had been proposed. The reason for this is mostly the shortage of training data, as well as the challenge of modeling the problem using neural networks. ...

In this paper, we propose a collaborative technique for face orientation estimation in smart camera networks. The proposed spatiotemporal feature fusion analysis is based on active collaboration between the cameras in data fusion and decision making using features extracted by each camera. First, a head strip mapping method is proposed based on a Markov model and a Viterbi-like algorithm to est...
