An Active Vision System is an intelligent computer vision system that dynamically controls cameras, sensors, or viewpoints to focus on relevant objects, events, or areas. Unlike passive monitoring, it can automatically adjust its view based on changing conditions and detected activities.
Active Vision Systems improve surveillance coverage, situational awareness, and real-time decision-making. They are used in security, smart buildings, robotics, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and autonomous systems. Related technologies include AI, computer vision, object detection, video analytics, PTZ cameras, and machine learning. Related terms include Intelligent Video Analytics, Object Tracking, and Automated Surveillance.
