On the Performance Evaluation of Tracking Systems using Multiple Pan-Tilt-Zoom Cameras

Abstract

Object tracking from multiple Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cameras is an important task. This paper deals with the evaluation of the result of such a system. This performance evaluation is conducted by first considering the characterization of the PTZ parameters and then by the trajectories themselves. The camera parameters with be evaluated with the homography errors; the trajectories will be evaluated according to the location and miss-identification errors
