Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We propose a method for estimating the topology of distributed pan-tilt cameras and its probabilistic model, which are useful for multi-target tracking in a wide area. In our framework, the probabilistic model of the topology gives us (1) objects’ routes between/within the FOVs of the cameras and (2) the possibility of appearance/disappearance of objects at end points of the routes. Thismodel is acquired based on the analysis of observed appearance/disappearance data. If only one object can be observed by a camera, it should point towards the object. However, if there are multiple objects, cameras should be controlled so that objects that go through unreliable routes in which enough number of appearance/disappearance data have not been observed for establishing the reliable model as soon as possible. While tracking with the reliable model, on the other hand, the camera should be directed towards the route with the biggest possibility of next appearance. Our method therefore controls the pan-tilt cameras depending on the reliability of the routes. Simulation experiments demonstrated the efficiency of our camera control scheme for establishing the topology model.
