Smart Distributed Sensor Fields: Algorithms for Tactical Sensors

Abstract

Video cameras are critical to providing persistent surveillance capabilities for situational awareness. Currently, video analysis requires significant human supervision. Even many of the routine tasks ranging from detecting, identifying, localizing/tracking interesting events, discarding irrelevant data, to providing actionable intelligence currently requires significant human supervision. Human supervision is not scalable for providing persistent wide-area monitoring and particularly for monitoring a network of cameras that would be generally employed for theater-level operations. The scope of this project is to develop new concepts for autonomous video analysis for highly cluttered urban environments.
