Paper Abstract:
|
This paper proposes a new computer-vision based architecture for sea borders surveillance. The developed scheme incorporate PTZ IP cameras, 3G communications systems, IP protocols and video streaming algorithms in order to survey sea borders from a port. Two types of units are incorporated; the offshore unit and the onshore unit. The first is placed on sea and include sensors data, while the other refers to the video surveillance unit embedded on the ground shore. The developed system also incorporates a computer vision toolkit able to detect ships and thus to inform sea policemen in case of an emergency. The system is tested on real-world sea borders conditions, as the one of Protaras port in Cyprus. |
