EAGER: US Ignite: Mobility-Enhanced Public Safety Surveillance System using 3D Cameras and High Speed Broadband Networks

美国Ignite项目的目标是开发和演示警车上的3D摄像头通过高速无线网络连接到云计算的实用性。基于摄像头的监控系统在帮助执法部门管理公共安全方面发挥着重要作用，但现有系统存在一些缺陷。第一个限制是，目前大多数系统依赖于静态摄像头，这限制了执法部门根据需要将摄像头部署到目标区域的灵活性。第二个限制是，大多数监控摄像机在夜间或大雾等能见度较低的环境中不能很好地工作。通过将后端（或基于云的）视频处理与3D摄像机相结合，该项目解决了这两个问题。该项目将在天普大学校园警察局的警车上安装3D摄像头，并通过天普大学GENI WiMax和校园WiFi基础设施将视频数据传回校园计算集群进行分析，并将结果作为警报或其他状态传回给警察。该项目扩展了现有的目标跟踪和检测工作，以处理3D视频馈送。该项目正在与天普大学校园警察部门合作，该部门提供领域专业知识并促进原型系统的测试。

The goal of this US Ignite project is to develop and demonstrate the utility of 3D cameras on police cars connected to cloud-based computing via high-speed wireless networks. Camera-based surveillance systems play an important role in helping law enforcement manage public safety but existing systems have several drawbacks. The first limitation is that most current systems rely on static cameras, which limits the flexibility for law enforcement to deploy the cameras to targeted areas as needed. The second limitation is that most surveillance cameras do no work well in environments with poor visibility such as nighttime or fog. By combining back-end (or cloud-based)video processing with 3D cameras the project addresses both of these issues.The project will install 3D cameras on police cars belonging to the Temple University campus police department and back-haul the video data via the Temple University GENI WiMax and campus WiFi infrastructures to a campus computing cluster for analysis with the results being relayed back to the police officers as alerts or other status. The project extends existing work on target tracking and detection to deal with 3D video feeds. The project in being run in conjunction with the Temple University campus police department which is providing domain expertise and facilitating testing of the prototype system.
