Automated real-time surveillance for ambient assisted living using an omnidirectional camera

In this paper an automated video based real-time surveillance system is presented. This system is based on an omnidirectional camera and a multiple object tracking technique for applications in the field of AAL (Ambient Assisted Living). This system is able to monitor a complete room with a single camera and, in addition, to track the people entering and leaving this room. The software was implemented for an embedded platform which acts as a smart sensor.
