Abstract

The paper presents a method for planning the position of multiple stereo sensors in an indoor environment. This is a component of an Intelligent Vision Agent System. We propose a new approach to optimize the multiple stereo visual sensor configurations in 3D space in order to get efficient visibility for surveillance, tracking and 3D reconstruction. The paper introduces a constraints method for modelling a Field of View in spherical coordinates, a tetrahedron model for target objects, and a stereo view constraint for the baseline of paired cameras. The constraints were analyzed and the minimum amount of stereo pairs necessary to cover the entire target space was optimized by an integer linear programming. The 3D simulations for human body and activities space coverage in Matlab illustrate the problem.
