Abstract
The developed model of video monitoring based on distributed camera system is intended for automation of registration of meeting participants. The problem of detecting position of participants simultaneously attended in the room and their faces is solved by joint use of wide-angle, omni-directional and PTZ cameras located on walls and ceiling of the room, as well as implementation of face detection technology for photographing the zones of possible occurrence of participants faces. The quality of photos was estimated by accuracy of pointing the PTZ camera and the diagonal value of a face in the captured image. The deviation of face in the frame relatively the center averaged 8% and the square of face was no less than 7% of the image. Also it was observed that the mean time of registration increases, when the number of participants increases and the level of illumination decreases. Further development of the model is aimed at the automation of capturing the main speaker, discussion, vote and other key phases of events.
