Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of self-contained automated video analytics units that are man-portable and constitute nodes of a large-scale distributed sensor network. The paper highlights issues with traditional video surveillance systems in volatile environments such as a battle field and provides solutions to them in the form of Rapidly Deployable Video Analysis sensors. We discuss scientific and engineering aspects of the system and present the outcome of a field deployment in an exercise conducted by the Office of Naval Research.
