A probabilistic method for obtaining a complete image representation on the basis of spatial-temporal knowledge is presented. The main goal of the algorithm is to obtain a consistent segmentation of a noisy image sequence. Consistent means that the same region must maintain the same label in all consequent images of the sequence where it...

In this paper, the approach used to estimate people number for planning purposes in DIMUS (ESPRIT project P-5345) is described. Crowding estimation is based on the image-processing and inference phases applied to acquired data. Images come from a set of visual b/w camera oriented towards a zone to be monitored. Some significant features...

This paper aims at describing a visual surveillance prototype system able to monitor a bounded (in depth) area by using a depth-from-focus approach. The single visual camera utilized is characterized by an adjustable lens objective controlled by a host computer. In this way, the system is capable to detect possible intruders entering in the...
