Abstract

This chapter covers the fundamentals in intelligent surveillance, i.e., what intelligent surveillance is, what elements should be included in a surveillance system, and how to implement such a surveillance system. There are three main phases; each of them shows the evolution in this field. Substantially, sensor deployment and calibration will be stressed in the second half of this chapter; networked camera settings, multi-sensor calibration (Collins et al., Proc IEEE 89(10):1456–1475, 2001), image distortion and its corrections, etc. will be covered (Collins et al., Proc IEEE 89(10):1456–1475, 2001). Automated calibration of multiple sensors (Zhang, IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell 22(11):1330–1334, 2000) will be formatted in mathematical way. In this chapter, we will overview the core issues and demonstrate advanced understanding of the state-of-the-art theories and technologies in intelligent surveillance.
