The techniques described in the previous sections have been implemented and inte grated in a system able to access multiple cameras, extract and track people, analyse their behaviour and detect possible dangerous situations, reacting by sending an alarm to a remote PDA with which a video connection is established. The integrated system is structured as a client-server architecture, as shown. The server side contains several pipelined modules: object segmentation, tracking, posture classification and event detection. The alarms generated can be sent to a control centre or can trigger remote connections with a set of authorised users, which exploit the universal multimedia access algorithms to receive visual information of the objects (people) involved in dangerous situations.
