Managing security tasks with modular and mobile sensor data processing networks - an integral approach

This paper presents a complex surveillance system based around a ground control station called AMFIS. In addition, we introduce additional image exploitation algorithms and show how they can be used in the described mobile surveillance system. Detected objects of interest are geolocated by means of image-registration methods and classified as human or non-human. While the classification of objects of interest is running, their position, direction and speed can already be annotated in the operators display. Thus, the image exploitation process can accelerate the situation assessment significantly.
