This article describes a new dataset under construction at the Media Integration and
Communication Center and the University of Florence. The dataset consists of high …

There is a complex unwritten code which regulates human interactions. In this paper we
present a camera based monitoring system that explores the relationship between …

There is a clear trend in camera networks toward enhanced functionality and flexibility, and
a fixed static deployment is typically not sufficient to fulfill these increased requirements …

Face recognition has been regarded as an effective method for subject identification at a
distance because of its covert and remote sensing capability. However, face images have a …

Calibrating narrow field of view soccer cameras is challenging because there are very few
field markings in the image. Unlike previous solutions, we propose a two-point method …

We present an efficient method for volume rendering by ray casting on the CPU. We employ
coherent packet traversal of an implicit bounding volume hierarchy, heuristically pruned …

Depth sensors have been used extensively for perception in robotics. Typically these
sensors have a fixed angular resolution and field of view (FOV). This is in contrast to human …

Facial recognition at-a-distance in surveillance scenarios remains an open problem,
particularly due to the small number of pixels representing the facial region. The use of pan …

Third generation surveillance systems are largely requested for intelligent surveillance of
different scenarios such as public areas, urban traffic control, smart homes and so on. They …

Cognitive visual tracking is the process of observing and understanding the behavior of a
moving person. This paper presents an efficient solution to extract, in real-time, high-level …
