By taking into account the video characteristics and the lossy nature of the wireless channels, we propose video preprocessing and error control approaches to enhance tracking performance while conserving bandwidth resources and computational power at the transmitter. Compared with current state-of-the-art H.264-based implementations, our system is shown to yield over 80% bitrate savings for comparable tracking accuracy. date: 2013 date_type: published publication: IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems volume: 14 number: 4 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 2002-2007 id_number: 10.1109/TITS.2013.2266861 refereed: TRUE issn: 1524-9050 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TITS.2013.2266861 citation: Chen, Zhaofu and Tsaftaris, Sotirios A. and Soyak, Eren and Katsaggelos, Aggelos K.
