Abstract
Surveillance systems are considered an important technological tool for monitoring environments of interest and detecting malicious activities. These systems are receiving a growing attention for security and safety concerns. With the advances in imaging and wireless technology, tiny visual sensor nodes are employed to collectively monitor areas of interest. These nodes are capable of capturing and processing images, and intelligently sending just the right amount of data to the central station for further activity interpretation. However, constrained resources of these sensor platforms raise new challenges for video surveillance. This chapter presents an overview of surveillance systems, applications, evolution, and challenges. It then summarizes the motivations, contributions, and organization of the rest of the book.
