Description
In its effort to provide necessary intelligence and analysis, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) utilizes extensive traffic camera systems. However, the large amount of data overwhelms both analysts and existing processing methods. In order to provide a better understanding and reduce the search space for common problems such as target tracking, it is necessary to extract the camera network layout. Areté proposes the CAMEra LOcalization using Traffic (CAMELOT) solution to accomplish this by using a vehicle re-identification algorithm along with robust statistical network analysis to extract relative camera locations from traffic cameras. To do so, Areté will build off previous results developed during Phase I to improve algorithm performance, reduce the number of false alarms through a variety of mitigation efforts, and deliver a prototype software tool.
