This paper presents our research towards smart camera networks capable of carrying out advanced surveillance tasks with little or no human supervision. A unique centerpiece of our work is the… (More)
We present a surveillance system, comprising wide field-of-view (FOV) passive cameras and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) active cameras, which automatically captures and labels high-resolution videos of… (More)
This paper advocates a virtual vision paradigm and demonstrates its usefulness in camera sensor network research. Virtual vision prescribes the use of a visually and behaviorally realistic virtual… (More)
We propose a distributed coalition formation strategy for collaborative sensing tasks in camera sensor networks. The proposed model supports taskdependent node selection and aggregation through an… (More)
The Cognitive Controller (CoCo) is a new, three-tiered control architecture for autonomous agents that combines reactive and deliberative components. A behaviour-based reactive module ensures that… (More)
We present a cognitively-controlled vision system that combines low-level object recognition and tracking with high-level symbolic reasoning for the purpose of solving difficult space robotics… (More)
We present a space robotic system capable of capturing a free-flying satellite for the purposes of on-orbit satellite servicing. Currently such operations are carried out either manually or through… (More)
This paper presents camera network research in the context of a unique synthesis of advanced computer graphics and vision simulation technologies. In particular, we propose the design of and… (More)
