Abstract

Smart cameras represent an interesting research field that has evolved over the last decade. In this chapter we focus on the integration of multiple, potentially heterogeneous smart cameras into a distributed system for computer vision and sensor fusion. Because an important aspect of distributed systems is the system-level software, also called middleware, we discuss the middleware requirements of distributed smart cameras and the services the middleware must provide. In our opinion, a middleware following the agent-oriented paradigm ...
