Abstract :
DOTS (dynamic object tracking system), our multicamera system designed to aid surveillance workers, has over 20 cameras spread throughout our building, and has been in constant use for over a year. This demo focuses on the system tools that use 3D building geometry. The geometric input to DOTS is a floor plan and information such as cubicle heights. From this input we construct an enhanced 2D floor plan and a 3D model upon which more specific visualization and analysis tools are built.
