To develop a cost-effective, fast-to-deploy, low-power and flexible video surveillance system that automatically combines images from multiple cameras to create a 180 degree panoramic view.
A primary concern of customers seeking video surveillance is that of cost and flexibility. The ability to react to new threats and in quick time is a necessity to many industries and services. Saving time with network deployment is as critical as saving money. The speed to deploy a surveillance operation is a major factor in the benefits of CHAMELEON. The EU funded research project – CHAMELEON – provides solutions to the challenges of high power consumption, security operator fatigue, lack of flexibility and deployment, and real-time, high quality, panoramic vision. CHAMELEON uses a secure 5GHz wireless LAN connection to transmit real-time stitched images from multiple cameras to a monitoring station. Through lightweight video compression algorithms with low bitrates CHAMELEON can operate on low power. The CHAMELEON project was successfully launched on the 1st February 2012. This project is co-funded by the European Commission through the Seventh Framework Programme, grant agreement no. FP7-286510. The development is pursued by the following partners: Malta Industrial Innovation for SMEs – MALTA Eointec Solutions Ltd – IRELAND Embedded Wireless GmbH – GERMANY Instant Communications Ltd – IRELAND S.C. Seektron S.R.L – ROMANIA Promelit S.p.A – ITALY SignalGenerix – CYPRUS Hochschule Ulm - GERMANY
