ABSTRACT
Rephotography is the process of capturing the same scene at a different time, in order to capture changes. Previous work at SIGGRAPH [BAE2010] demonstrated the ability for smart-phone apps to guide a user to the correct viewpoint, here we promote the use of such tools distributed widely over space and time, by enabling collaborative projects that allow multiple users to re-photograph multiple sites over time. These sites may be architectural, social, urban scenes or ecological. Current projects utilizing our mobile tools range from nation-scale rephotography of scenic overlooks, to monitoring of urban street trees in NYC by local conservancy group volunteers. Rephotography directly connects pictures at one time to pictures at another time. It also connects a photographer at one time to a photographer at another time, by providing a mechanism to collaboratively record the story of how our world changes.

Computational rephotography
Rephotographers aim to recapture an existing photograph from the same viewpoint. A historical photograph paired with a well-aligned modern rephotograph can serve as a remarkable visualization of the passage of time. However, the task of rephotography is ...
Multiple human tracking based on distributed collaborative cameras
Due to the horizon limitation of single camera, it is difficult for single camera based multi-object tracking system to track multiple objects accurately. In addition, the possible object occlusion and ambiguous appearances often degrade the performance ...
Collaborative Pedestrian Tracking and Data Fusion With Multiple Cameras
This work presents a framework of a collaborative multiple-camera tracking system for seamlessly object tracking across fixed cameras in overlapping and nonoverlapping fields of view (FOVs). The proposed system is constructed by two major elements: a ...
