Abstract :
We present a real-time cooperative multi-target tracking system. The system consists of a group of active vision agents (AVAs), where an AVA is a logical model of a network-connected computer with an active camera. All AVAs cooperatively track their target objects by dynamically exchanging object information with each other. In this paper we address the technologies employed in the system and demonstrate their effectiveness.
