Determination of Neighbor Node in Consideration of the Imaging Range of Cameras in Automatic Human Tracking System

A automatic human tracking system using mobile
agent technology is realized because a mobile agent moves in
accordance with a migration of a target person. In this paper, we
propose a method for determining the neighbor node in consideration
of the imaging range of cameras.
