Abstract
A method is disclosed for the analysis of scenarios where there are dynamically occurring objects capable of occluding each others. Application of the method in vision systems is also disclosed. Methods for incorporating visibility constraints for occluding scenarios are provided in a multi-camera setting. Other static constraints such as image resolution and field-of-view, and algorithmic requirements such as stereo reconstruction, face detection and background appearance are also addressed. A generic framework for sensor planning is also provided.
