“…In this type of arrangement, no autonomous decision or processing will be done by any of the distributed cameras. The function of the camera could either be any or all of the followings: (i) integrating the image or data collected from the distributed cameras on the network, (ii) taking in or dissecting the information gathered from the subordinate cameras and (iii) controlling of other cameras as a means of a remote access point to them [11]. Many approaches have used this method, such as Kang et al [55], Lim et al [56], Kattnaker and Zabih [57], Lu and Payande [58], Evert et al [59], Sommerlade and Reid [60], and Piciarelli et al [61].…”

“…The figure shows that the number of publications related to the multi-camera system is in the increasing trend, which indicates that research on the multi-camera system is still very popular in the present day. Even though several surveys concerning multi-camera systems have been published, virtually all of them focused on a selected aspect of the multi-camera system and particular areas of its applications (e.g., tracking or surveillance) [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]. These surveys, of course, do not cover the wide spectrum of multi-camera system studies.…”

Literature Survey on Multi-Camera System and Its Application

A multi-camera system combines features from different cameras to exploit a scene of an event to increase the output image quality. The combination of two or more cameras requires prior settings in terms of calibration and architecture. Therefore, this paper surveys the available literature in terms of multi-camera systems' physical arrangements, calibrations, algorithms, and their advantages and disadvantages. We also survey the recent developments and advancements in four areas of multi-camera system applications, which are surveillance, sports, education, and mobile phones. In the surveillance system, the combination of multiple heterogeneous cameras and the discovery of Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) and smart cameras have brought tremendous achievements in the area of multi-camera control and coordination. Different approaches have been proposed to facilitate effective collaboration and monitoring among the camera network. Furthermore, the application of multi-cameras in sports has made the games more interesting in the aspect of analyses and transparency. The application of the multi-camera system in education has taken education beyond the four walls of the class. The method of teaching, student attendance enrollment, determination of students' attention, teacher and student assessment can now be determined with ease, and all forms of proxy and manipulation in education can be reduced by using a multi-camera system. Besides, the number of cameras featuring on smartphones is gaining noticeable recognition. However, most of these cameras serve different purposes, from zooming, telephoto, and wider Field of View (FOV). Therefore, future smartphones should be expecting more cameras or the development would be in a different direction.

Video surveillance is growing rapidly, new problems and issues are also coming into view which needs serious and urgent attention. Video surveillance system requires a beneficial energy efficient camera solution. In this paper, a single overhead camera solution is introduced which overcomes the problems existing in various frontal and overhead based surveillance systems. This will increases the efficiency and accuracy of surveillance system i.e. frontal and overhead. In this paper, two energy efficient overhead camera models are presented. The first model consists of a single overhead camera with a wide angle lens which covers a wide field of view addresses problems present in the traditional surveillance system. The second model, presents a single smart centralized overhead camera which controls various frontal based cameras. Several factors associated with camera models such as field of view, focal length and distortion are also discussed. Impact of the surveillance cameras are finally discussed which shows that a single energy efficient overhead camera surveillance system can solves many problems present in traditional surveillance system like power consumption, storage, time, human resource and installation cost and small coverage area.

“…However, most of the security solutions proposed in the state of the art are for general purpose applications of video surveillance. Recently, numerous techniques have been proposed for the coordination and the control of multiple cameras, taking into account the potential loss of privacy [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Nevertheless, the key objectives of these mechanisms slightly deviate from the key scope of this paper.…”

Video surveillance is widely deployed for many kinds of monitoring applications in healthcare and assisted living systems. Security and privacy are two promising factors that align the quality and validity of video surveillance systems with the caliber of patient monitoring applications. In this paper, we propose a symmetric key-based security framework for the reactive video surveillance of patients based on the inputs coming from data measured by a wireless body area network attached to the human body. Only authenticated patients are able to activate the video cameras, whereas the patient and authorized people can consult the video data. User and location privacy are at each moment guaranteed for the patient. A tradeoff between security and quality of service is defined in order to ensure that the surveillance system gets activated even in emergency situations. In addition, the solution includes resistance against tampering with the device on the patient’s side.
