INTRODUCTION
In a nuclear facility, asset monitoring is an important
task to maintain safety and security. With the increase of
the scale and complexity of an automated video
surveillance system, it becomes increasingly difficult for a
single camera to accomplish this task. Thus, the
employment of multiple cameras is necessary and brings
in more safety.
Even though most multiple objects tracking
algorithms [1, 2] are proven efficient, we find it difficult
to maintain a constant frame rate given limited resources.
Herewith, resources include (1) CPU capacity for
executing object tracking, crowd segmentation, and
behavior understanding in a completely automated
manner [3], and (2) network bandwidth for exchanging
camera handoff information. There inherently exists an
