The use of multiple heterogeneous cameras is becoming more common in today's surveillance systems. In order to perform surveillance tasks, effective coordination and control in multi-camera systems is very important, and is catching significant research attention these days. This survey aims to provide researchers with a state-of-the-art overview of various techniques for multi-camera coordination and control (MC3) that have been adopted in surveillance systems. The existing literature on MC3 is presented through several classifications based on the applicable architectures, frameworks and the associated surveillance tasks. Finally, a discussion on the open problems in surveillance area that can be solved effectively using MC3 and the future directions in MC3 research is presented

Recommendations
Surveillance camera scheduling: a virtual vision approach
VSSN '05: Proceedings of the third ACM international workshop on Video surveillance & sensor networksWe 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-...
Scalable Decision-Theoretic Coordination and Control for Real-time Active Multi-Camera Surveillance
ICDSC '14: Proceedings of the International Conference on Distributed Smart CamerasThis paper presents an overview of our novel decision-theoretic multi-agent approach for controlling and coordinating multiple active cameras in surveillance. In this approach, a surveillance task is modeled as a stochastic optimization problem, where ...
Image-based pan-tilt camera control in a multi-camera surveillance environment
ICME '03: Proceedings of the 2003 International Conference on Multimedia and Expo - Volume 2In automated surveillance systems with multiple cameras, the system must be able to position the cameras accurately. Each camera must be able to pan-tilt such that an object detected in the scene is in a vantage position in the camera's image plane and ...
