Video-Based Surveillance Systems Computer Vision and Distributed Processing / edited by Graeme A. Jones, Nikos Paragios, Carlo S. Regazzoni.

Monitoring of public and private sites has increasingly become a very sensitive issue resulting in a patchwork of privacy laws varying from country to country -though all aimed at protecting the privacy of the citizen. It is important to remember, however, that monitoring and vi­ sual surveillance c...
