TLDR
In this article, a method for detecting moving objects and controlling a surveillance system includes a processing module adapted to receive image information from at least one imaging sensor, which performs motion detection analysis upon captured images and controls the camera in a specific manner upon detection of a moving object.Abstract:
A method for detecting moving objects (fig. 10) and controlling a surveillance system includes a processing module (1016) adapted to receive image information from at least one imaging sensor (104). The system performs motion detection analysis upon captured images and controls the camera (104) in a specific manner upon detection of a moving object. The image processing using the camera (104) orientation, a moving object position, latitude, longitude and altitude within a surveillance area to facilitate mapping images captured by the camera (104) to a reference map of the surveillance area.read more

Automated camera handoff system for figure tracking in a multiple camera system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for the automation of a multiple camera system based upon the location of a target object in a displayed camera image, which provides a nearly continuous display of a figure as the figure moves about throughout multiple cameras' potential fields of view.

Automatic tracking camera control system
Abstract: Methodology and circuitry for automatically effecting electronic camera movement to track and display the location of a moving object, such as a person presenting a talk to an audience. A fixed spotting camera is used to capture a field of view, and a moving tracking camera with pan/tilt/zoom/focus functions is driven to the present location of the moving object. Information for driving the tracking camera is obtained with reference to the pixel difference between a current image and a previous image within the field of view. A tracking algorithm computes the information necessary to drive the tracking camera from these pixel differences as well as data relative to the field of view of the spotting camera and the present tracking camera position.
