AN IP-BASED REAL-TIME VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

摘要

Distributed multimedia-based surveillance has beenrncommonly used for the monitoring and control aspects ofrnmany industry applications. These systems enable variousrnmultimedia sources to be transported, processed, andrnvisualized with the requirement of real-time performancernand synchronized visualization. In this paper, wernpresented an IP-based architecture for implementingrnlarge-scale and distributed video surveillance systemsrnwith real-time and synchronization requirements. Thernmain contribution of our work lies in the distributed endto-rnend flow control on top of an inherently unreliable andrnbest-effort IP network to achieve real-time performancernand the synchronization of media streams. Results fromrnour studies showed that our distributed real-time systemsrnwere able to handle the processing of large number ofrnmultimedia sources and meet performance constraints.
