A smart surveillance system of distributed smart multi cameras modelled as agents

摘要

A smart city is supposed to be a safe city. At this moment we observe multiple cameras in around public buildings and along streets to detect suspicious behavior. Samples of the video footage is monitored 24/7 by operators in control rooms. Currently the recorded videos are visual inspected after a suspicious event has happened. There is a need for real time monitoring with smart cameras which are able to detect, track and analyze suspicious objects over place and time. The increasing number of cameras requires a huge amount of monitoring operators Last year's we developed several prototypes of such a surveillance system using a distributed wireless network of smart cameras modelled as agents. The network has a hierarchical structure composed of different agents of increasing complexity, monitoring a street, crossing or even a global area of the city. In this paper we present the final version of our system, including design and test results.
