Stereo Camera Handoff

To track multiple moving objects in multiple surveillance cameras is a non-trivial problem, especially when occlusion is present. This problem is also referred as “Camera Handoff” as it hands over object’s identification from one camerea to another camera, which shares a considerable common field of view with the first. In this paper, moving object handoff is accomplished using geometric constraints between the coordinate system of the two stereo cameras. We proposed a Two-Pass Matching Method to deal with the occlusion problem explicitly.
