Abstract

This paper presents a system that combines fixed stereo cameras with wide field of view (FOV) and high resolution active Pan/Tilt (PT) cameras into a networked platform. Designed for security applications, the purpose is to provide high resolution face images while covering a wide area. A custom PT unit allowing a fixed camera projection center was designed to hold the high resolution camera. Two such cameras in addition to one stereo camera were implemented in a real scene in order to test the effectiveness of the system. Preliminary results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed system.
