Distributed surveillance system for business economic and information management

Abstract

Recent developments in computer and image processing technology have led to the expansion of several automatic surveillance systems. This paper describes a general, scalable, and distributed framework monitoring model for real-time video-analysis intended for research, prototyping and especially, for business economic purposes. The architecture of the system considers multiple cameras and is based on a server/client model. System modules can be connected in different ways, therefore achieving more flexibility. Three main design criteria's have been considered 1- low computational cost 2- easy component integration, 3-sensors grouping. The experimental results show the potential use of the proposed system. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
