A System for Video Surveillance and Monitoring CMU VSAM Final Report

Abstract

Under the three-year Video Surveillance and Monitoring (VSAM) project, the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the Sarnoff Corporation have developed a system for autonomous Video Surveillance and Monitoring. The technical approach uses multiple, cooperative video sensors to provide continuous coverage of people and vehicles in a cluttered environment. This final report presents an overview of the system, and of the technical accomplishments that have been achieved. Details can be found in a set of previously published papers that together comprise Appendix A.
