The chapters in this book offered a survey of the design principles, algorithms, and operation of multi-camera networks. The scope of presentation reflects a wide span of techniques in a field of rapid progress toward computer vision applications. However, we believe that much remains to be explored in this rich area, both in conceptual aspects of data fusion and interpretation and in novel applications that can bring the technology into widespread use. Four areas in particular call for further development:

 System design and algorithm development under realistic constraints

 Interface and middleware ...
