| Popis: | We present an approach for inferring the topology of a camera network by measuring statistical dependence between observations in different cameras. Two cameras are considered connected if objects seen departing in one camera is seen arriving in the other. This is captured by the degree of statistical dependence between the cameras. The nature of dependence is characterized by the distribution of observation transformations between cameras, such as departure to arrival transition times, and color appearance. We show how to measure statistical dependence when the correspondence between observations in different cameras is unknown. This is accomplished by non-parametric estimates of statistical dependence and Bayesian integration of the unknown correspondence. Our approach generalizes previous work which assumed restricted parametric transition distributions and only implicitly dealt with unknown correspondence. Results are shown on simulated and real data. We also describe a technique for learning the absolute locations of the cameras with Global Positioning System (GPS) side information |
