Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present a surveillance system, comprising wide field-of-view (FOV) passive cameras and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) active cameras, which automatically captures and labels high-resolution videos of pedestrians as they move through a designated area. A wide-FOV stationary camera can track multiple pedestrians, while any PTZ active camera can capture high-quality videos of a single pedestrian at a time. We propose a multi-camera control strategy that combines information gathered by the wide-FOV cameras with weighted round-robin scheduling to guide the available PTZ cameras, such that each pedestrian is viewed by at least one active camera during their stay in the designated area.A distinctive centerpiece of our work is the exploitation of a visually and behaviorally realistic virtual environment simulator for the development and testing of surveillance systems. Our research would be more or less infeasible in the real world given the impediments to deploying and experimenting with an appropriately complex camera sensor network in a large public space the size of, say, a train station. In particular, we demonstrate our surveillance system in a virtual train station environment populated by autonomous, lifelike virtual pedestrians, wherein easily reconfigurable virtual cameras generate synthetic video feeds that emulate those generated by real surveillance cameras monitoring richly populated public spaces.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
