Architectures for distributed smart cameras
Marilyn C. Wolf, Burak Özer, Tongqing Lv · 2003
This paper describes our new multiple-camera architecture for real-time video analysis. This architecture uses an array of relatively inexpensive cameras to gather images in order to provide high resolution at low cost. The system also uses a hierarchy of cameras, including both wide-angle and telephoto views. Wide-angle cameras are responsible for camera coordination while telephoto cameras are primarily responsible for detailed processing of parts of the scene.
