The recent interest in the surveillance of public, military, and commercial scenarios is
increasing the need to develop and deploy intelligent and/or automated distributed visual …

In this paper we describe the Cooperative Sensor Agents (CSA), a logical framework of
autonomous agents working in sensor network environments. CSA is a two-layer framework …

This paper presents an architecture for sensor-based, distributed, automated scene
surveillance. The goal of the work is to employ wireless visual sensors, scattered in an area …

The newest surveillance applications is attempting more complex tasks such as the analysis
of the behavior of individuals and crowds. These complex tasks may use a distributed visual …

In this paper we present a Cooperative Surveillance Multi-Agent System (CS-MAS)
architecture extended to incorporate dynamic coalition formation. We illustrate specific …

Latest advances in hardware technology and state of the art of computer vision and artificial
intelligence research can be employed to develop autonomous and distributed monitoring …

We have proposed a real-time multi-target tracking system by cooperative behaviors of
Active Vision Agents (AVAs), where an AVA is a logical model of a network-connected …

This paper presents a tracking-based surveillance system that is capable of tracking multiple
moving objects, with almost real-time response, through the effective cooperation of multiple …

Detection, tracking, and understanding of moving objects of interest in dynamic scenes have
been active research areas in computer vision over the past decades. Intelligent visual …

This paper presents an application of software agents in a specific engineering problem:
multitarget surveillance with several cameras sensing a closed environment. Each agent …
