In this paper, we revisit the role of the image of the absolute conic (IAC) in recovering the camera geometry. We derive new constraints on IAC that advance our understanding of i...
Dual camera systems (omnidirectional and slaved PTZ cameras) are widely used in public area monitoring and target tracking. However, due to their low and non-uniform resolution, o...
We present a system for automatic head tracking with a single pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. In distance education the PTZ tracking system developed can be used to follow a teacher a...
Estimating the paths that moving objects can take through the fields of view of possibly non-overlapping cameras, also known as their activity topology, is an important step in t...
We propose a method for create a background model in non-stationary scenes. Each pixel has a dynamic Gaussian mixture model. Our approach can automatically change the number of Ga...
Video surveillance is a key technology for enhanced protection of facilities such as airports and power stations from various types of threat. Networks of thousands of IP-based ca...

We model the performance of a speaker recognition system used for surveillance to prioritize a large number of candidate speakers in search of a single target speaker. It is assum...
This paper presents a novel method for illuminationinvariant and contrast preserving feature extraction, aimed at improving performance of tracking under complex light condition. ...
