Decision-Theoretic Approach to Maximizing Fairness in Multi-Target Observation in Multi-Camera Surveillance

Central to the problem of active multi-camera surveillance is the fundamental issue of fairness in the observation of multiple targets such that no target is left unobserved by the cameras for a long time. To address this important issue, we propose a novel principled decision-theoretic approach to control and coordinate multiple active cameras to achieve fairness in the observation of multiple moving targets.
