Abstract
With the support of wireless networking, cloud computing, and advanced control technology, cyber-physical systems (CPS) applications are gradually becoming a reality. However, different applications (e.g., spectator sports safety) are confronted with diverse challenges and issues. In this article, we innovate an autonomous dynamic spatial panoramic video surveillance system that is a typical CPS to provide effective technologies and systems to protect spectators in safety and security. We first introduce the system model and components, and then propose the methodologies for quality of service (QoS) improvement from the following aspects: distributed real-time panoramic video stitching, autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous unmanned ground vehicles, and wireless networking. The proposed methodologies can help the system design and improve the QoS.
