| Abstract | Recent hardware advances such as multi-core high-speed platforms allow cameras to perform multiple tasks whilst observing a scene: smart camera networks enable emerging applications that require adaptation to unforeseen conditions, changing tasks and constrained resources. The advent of smart cameras will significantly improve video analytics capabilities with the use of networked embedded devices for sensing, processing and communicating data and metadata. Smart camera networks underpin the emergence of pervasive applications such as unmanned vehicles to explore environments for search and rescue missions, disaster management, wildlife conservation and routine monitoring. Other growing uses of smart camera networks include in-home assistive technologies, collaborative recognition of events using networked wearable cameras, security and surveillance. Predicting human behavior in public spaces is also key to the vision of smart cities. Self-configuration of smart camera networks is necessary to yield efficient high-level understanding of and adaptation to dynamic scenes. In this article, we discuss recent approaches for autonomous smart camera network reconfiguration where camera cooperation plays a crucial role. We outline the requirements for self-reconfiguration, discuss existing solutions, challenges and open research issues. I. WHY SELF-RECONFIGURATION? |
