Description

This edited book will be contributed by leading researchers in the emerging field of multimodal surveillance. It will have three parts: (1) multimodal sensor and novel sensing approaches (visible/IR, audio/visual, thermal, acoustic, magnetic, seismic, etc.) for human and vehicle signature detection, (2) multimodal data fusion algorithms for biometrics, speech, and tracking;  (3) multimodal system issues (integration, communication, privacy, 3D modeling and rendering, workbench) for biometrics and surveillance.
