已经开发了各种视觉监视系统来满足不同的目的。但是，传统的视觉监视系统是不灵活的和被动的，因此在录制视频信息时会产生明显高的开销。因此，为了改善此类系统，研究人员一直将一些特殊技术纳入传统的视觉监视系统中。这样做使这些采用技术能够附加到这些系统上的优势，从而使系统可以从这些技术中受益匪浅。在这项研究中，作者根据所有监视摄像机之间的分布式协作机制设计了一种新颖的视觉监视系统。更具体地说，作者利用众所周知的分布式应用程序（即领导者选举）实施此机制的概念。这种机制有助于使用多个监视摄像机的视觉监视系统自动有效地分配适当数量的相机以跟踪特定对象。因此，在进入监视区域的中等数量的对象上，监视摄像机将几乎均匀地任命为每个对象。
A variety of visual surveillance systems has been developed to satisfy different purposes. However, traditional visual surveillance systems are inflexible and passive, and thus incur significantly high overhead upon recording video information. Therefore, to improve such systems, researchers have been incorporating some special technologies into traditional visual surveillance systems. Doing so makes the advantages of these adopted technologies able to be attached to these systems such that the systems can benefit much from these technologies. In this study, the authors devise a novel visual surveillance system based on a distributed collaborative mechanism among all monitoring cameras. More specifically, the authors utilise the concept of a well-known distributed application, i.e. leader election, to implement this mechanism. Such a mechanism helps a visual surveillance system with more than one monitoring camera automatically and efficiently assign the proper number of cameras to track a particular object. Hence, upon a moderate number of objects entering the monitoring area, the monitoring cameras will be appointed to each object almost evenly.
