About ICDSC 2017
Smart camera networks are becoming a fundamental piece of our
intelligent cities, buildings and homes, progressively inserting
themselves into our lives. From smart surveillance systems composed of
a multitude of smart camera nodes to small wearable cameras able to
render a visual log of our daily experience, these devices interact
with each other and with a wealth of other smart things, and of course
the internet. Their rapid development is possible thanks to the
convergence of several technologies. From advanced image sensors and
vision chips to embedded vision systems capable of efficient feature
extraction, image encoding and wireless transmission of the relevant
visual content: This technology opens the door to new application
domains, where video analytics and the extraction of semantic
information from the scene is performed in a distributed fashion,
implementing a new type of cooperative and/or collaborative vision.

Venue: Stanford University, CA, USA
