CAREER: Wide Area Computer Vision - A Theoretical and Practical Framework

该提案解决了分布式视觉的研究问题。特别是，将开发新技术来垂直集成视觉算法，使松散配置的大型摄像机网络能够被视为单个逻辑传感器。拟议的工作包括：1）校准大型异构传感器网络; 2）广域目标跟踪和识别; 3）合作处理框架;以及4）开发新的分布式多媒体课程和社区推广计划

The proposal addresses research issues of distributed vision. In particular, new techniques will be developed to vertically integrate vision algorithms that enable loosely configured large networks of cameras to be treated as a single logical sensor. The proposed work includes: 1) calibration of large heterogeneous sensor networks; 2) wide-area object tracking and recognition; 3) a cooperative processing framework; and 4) development of new distributed multimedia courses and a community outreach program
