Purpose
(quoted from the scope statement of the CALL FOR PAPERS of the first International
Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras)
Distributed smart cameras combine techniques from computer vision, distributed
processing, and embedded computing. Technological advances in the design of
sensors and processors have facilitated the development of efficient embedded
vision-based techniques. Distributed algorithms can provide more confident
deductions about the events of interest or reduce ambiguities in a view caused
by occlusion or other factors. Because they operate in real time, a variety of
smart environment applications can be enabled based on the development of
efficient architectures and algorithms for distributed vision networks.
Topics Intended to be Covered:
- Fusion of vision and other
sensors
- Distributed vision processing
algorithms
- Collaborative feature
extraction, data and decision fusion
- Architectures and protocols
for camera networks
- Wireless and mobile image
senor networks
- Vision-based smart
environments
- Surveillance and tracking
applications
- Multi-view vision for
human-computer interaction
- 3D scene analysis
