algorithmic and architectural issues. Furthermore, we present our multiple-
camera system to investigate the relationship between the activity recognition
algorithms and the architectures required to perform these tasks in real-time.
The chapter describes the proposed activity recognition method that consists of
a distributed algorithm and a data fusion scheme for two and three-dimensional
visual analysis, respectively. Furthermore, we analyze the available data inde-
pendencies for our new algorithm, and discuss the potential architectures to
exploit the parallelism resulting from these independencies. Three architectures,
i.e., VLIW, symmetric parallel, and macro-pipelined architectures are presented
and compared in the chapter.
