Abstract
Nowadays security has globally become a critical issue, especially within communication, transportation, social and business activities key places. As they were in the past, harbours surely are key points for sea towns, significantly contributing to their life but also creating many safety problems. Multi-sensor video processing has a very important role in surveillance. Research in the field of multi-sensor processing for situation assessment and decision support is strictly connected with data fusion aspects. In this work, pros and cons, issues and research open points are explored in this field. The chapter describes how state of the art research faces these problems, to go deeper in the details of the video processing methodologies and solutions to problems of multi-camera tracking, joint calibration and positioning; are also concerned problems of heterogeneous sensors data fusion with the description of a radio/video localization system.
