On the performance evaluation of tracking systems using multiple pan-tilt-zoom cameras

Object tracking from multiple Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cameras is an important task. This paper deals with the evaluation of the result of such a system. This performance evaluation is conducted by first considering the characterization of the PTZ parameters and then by the trajectories themselves. The camera parameters with be evaluated with the homography errors; the trajectories will be evaluated according to the location and miss-identification errors.
