A new approach to obtain metric data from video surveillance: preliminary evaluation of a low-cost stereo-photogrammetric system

Video surveillance systems have become very diffuse in recent years and are now used to monitor a large number of urban areas and public sites. In many cases the images taken by such systems are the major, if not only, source of evidence for the identification of perpetrators. The best solution for this purpose is facial recognition, provided the images are sharp enough. If the image quality is insufficient or the people are masked, other elements must be analyzed, such as stature, gait, behavior, clothing, etc.
