Scene model based object tracking method across multiple cameras

In the surveillance system with multiple cameras,camera handoff is the key problem when an object left a view and entered another.This paper addressed this problem by comparing the real world positions of objects.Position in real world is obtained through an environment model which established the correlation of object position in real world and image plans.The edges of the overlapped view are obtained through a man walking in camera views freely.Then the system tracked object continuously across multiple cameras.This method accommodates multiple objects entering the view simultaneously across multiple arbitrary equipped cameras and the experimental result show is robustness and efficiency.
