Conventional video surveillance, where people sit in front of banks of TV monitors may soon become obsolete as key enabling technologies develop. This book details recent developments in machine vision algorithms capable of handling complex visual data acquired by camera systems. It also explores advances in distributed computing and distributed intelligence systems, capable of handling numerous devices and adapting to the evolution of the complex communication networks, thereby inferring a better interpretation of the dynamics of people and objects.

About the Author
