Smart Distributed Sensor Fields: Algorithms for Tactical Sensors
Venkatesh Saligrama · 2013
Abstract : Video cameras are critical to providing persistent surveillance capabilities for situational awareness. Currently, video analysis requires significant human supervision. Even many of the routine tasks ranging from detecting, identifying, localizing/tracking interesting events, discarding irrelevant data, to providing actionable intelligence currently requires significant human supervision. Human supervision is not scalable for providing persistent wide-area monitoring and particularly for monitoring a network of cameras that would be generally employed for theater-level operations. The scope of this project is to develop new concepts for autonomous video analysis for highly cluttered urban environments.
