A Distributed Sensor Network for Video Surveillance of Outdoors

  • Chapter
Multisensor Surveillance Systems

Abstract

New generation surveillance systems [1], [2], [3] require to manage large amounts of visual data (optical, infrared, etc.). Recently, the development of sensor technology and computer networks has contributed to increase the interest in Distributed Sensor Networks (DSNs) for real-time information fusion [4], [5], [6].
