An embedded system used as intelligent node of distributed surveillance

The demand for intelligent surveillance is grown with the popularization of the camera monitoring network. An embedded system used as intelligent node of distributed surveillance is designed in this paper to improve the intelligent level of camera monitoring. Target detection and tracking can be implemented in this node and an anomaly intrusion detection system is designed based on the tracking results. Information sharing is realized via transmitting highly abstract object descriptors via the wireless network. A simple camera monitoring network is built in the labs to test the designed intelligent node and the experimental results indicate its effectiveness and accuracy.
