Automated acquisition of surveillance-camera network topology

摄像机网络拓扑获取自动化系统的开发是实现在网络层面运行的智能监控系统的重要前提。这样的系统将有助于改进保护澳大利亚免受恐怖主义和犯罪的方法，促进对可疑个人和车辆的跟踪，并在繁忙的环境中发现异常行为。所涉及的尖端技术也将构成对澳大利亚工业具有重大商业价值的智能信息使用。

The development of an automated system for acquisition of camera network topology is a crucial prerequisite to obtaining intelligent surveillance systems operating at the network level. Such systems will contribute improved methods for safeguarding Australia from terrorism and crime by facilitating the tracking of suspicious individuals and vehicles, and detecting anomalous behaviours in busy environments. The leading-edge techniques involved will also constitute smart information use of significant commercial value to Australian industry.
