Apparatus and method for inferencing topology of multiple cameras network by tracking movement
摘要:
Provided are an apparatus and a method for tracking movements of objects to infer a topology of a network of multiple cameras. The apparatus infers the topology of the network formed of the multiple cameras that sequentially obtain images and includes an object extractor, a haunting data generator, and a haunting database (DB), and a topology inferrer. The object extractor extracts at least one from each of the obtained images, for the multiple cameras. The haunting data generator generates appearing cameras and appearing times at which the moving objects appear, and disappearing cameras and disappearing times at which the moving objects disappear, for the multiple cameras. The haunting DB stores the appearing cameras and appearing times and the disappearing cameras and disappearing times of the moving object, for the multiple cameras. The topology inferrer infers the topology of the network using the appearing cameras and appearing times and the disappearing cameras and disappearing times of moving objects. Therefore, the apparatus accurately infers topologies and distances among the multiple cameras in the network of the multiple cameras using the cameras and appearing and disappearing times at which the moving objects appear and disappear. As a result, the apparatus accurately track the moving objects in the network.
