Visual surveillance has grown its importance in the domain of automated monitoring of human behavior and its analysis in confined environments as well as large social areas. Single camera as well as multi-camera network is employed for the purpose of analysis of human behavior which finds practical application in security, market analysis, and so on. Signal processing and information extraction of the bulk amount of acquired video is a primitive task in visual surveillance. This special issue aims to call for recent original research works, review articles, case studies, comparative performance analysis in the said domain from researchers, academicians and practitioners around the globe.

Subject coverage:

• Single camera surveillance system
• Multi-camera network for object tracking
• Algorithms for object tracking
• Behavior analysis and gesture recognition
• Human recognition through gait pattern
• Camera network localization
• Surveillance in non-visual spectrum
• Occlusion handling
• Mobile camera network calibration
• Real-time visual surveillance
• Video processing and coding for large data storage
• Performance and connectivity analysis of camera network
• Placement and camera resource optimization
• Surveillance in open public area
• Challenges in automated surveillance
• 3-D reconstruction and holography from multiple cameras
• Feature based object recognition
• Applications in live sport telecasting
• Application in cinematography
