Static cameras are pervasive in a variety of environments.
However it remains a challenging problem to extract
and reason about high-level features from real-time and continuous
observation of an environment. In this paper, we present
CAMEO, the Camera Assisted Meeting Event Observer, which is
a physical awareness system designed for use by an agent-based
electronic assistant. CAMEO is an inexpensive high-resolution
omnidirectional vision system designed to be used in meeting
environments. The multiple camera design achieves the desired
high image resolution and lower cost that can be achieved when
compared to traditional omnicameras that make use of a single
camera and mirror solution.
