Multi Camera Networks. Principles and Applications

Multi-camera networks is a fast growing area of research in universities and R&D departments; it cuts across areas such as signal and video processing, computer vision and sensor and wireless networks. It has important applications in security, environmental monitoring, smart homes and office automation. The growing interest in this field can be seen through the number of conference sessions, tutorials and special journal issues on this topic. In 2007 a special conference was created on the topic.This book will be the first in the field and will be very comprehensive, covering principles, design algorithms, architectures, system implementation issues and applications. The editors and contributors are the leading experts. One of the contributors will be Wayne Wolf, Georgia Tech, Morgan Kaufman author and series editor.This book will be an ideal reference for R&D engineers, computer engineers, graduate students and university researchers working in signal and video processing, computer vision, and wireless and sensor networks.
