Advanced Video-Based Surveillance Systems / Edition 1

by Carlo S. Regazzoni, Gianni Fabri, Gianni Vernazza

Overview

Advanced Video-Based Surveillance Systems presents second generation surveillance systems that automatically process large sets of signals for performance monitoring tasks. Included is coverage of different architecture designs, customization of surveillance architecture for end-users, advances in the processing of imaging sequences, security systems, sensors, and remote monitoring projects. Examples are provided of surveillance applications in highway traffic control, subway stations, wireless communications, and other areas.
This work will be of interest to researchers in image processing, computer vision, digital signal processing, and telecommunications.

Editorial Reviews

Describes the current status in developing second-generation surveillance systems that automatically process large sets of signals to monitor a place or system. The 19 papers, from an April 1998 workshop in Genoa, Italy, cover requirements from end-users, video and image processing, communications, and sensors and systems. Specific topics include preventing vandalism in subway stations, fuzzy motion detection for highway traffic control, a neural tree-based image understanding system, integrating wireless networks into a surveillance system, the Cromatica Project, and generating radar images of aircraft for designing and testing image processing algorithms in radar applications.
