| This chapter focuses on the management and the application development
aspect of distributed smart camera systems by observing the more general point of
view of embedded sensor networks. The proposed approach relies on a model-based
software engineering concept which allows a more unified and simplified design.
Basically, the model-based system development concept provides high level system
functions and facilities for generating platform specific code. This chapter outlines
how this framework allows the integration of models at different levels, e.g. for
exploiting low-level sensor data as well as high-level knowledge-based models for
detection, calssification and representation of high-level situations in specific use
cases. The usefulness of the presented approach shall be demonstrated in a realworld
scenario targeting safety and security surveillance in a public airport environment. |
