Summary
Introduction
Analyzing the behaviors of people in smart environment using multimodal sensors requires to answer a set of typical questions: who are the people? where are they? what activities are they doing? when? with whom are they interacting? and how are they interacting? In this view, locating people or their faces and characterizing them (e.g. extracting their body or head orientation) allows us to address the first two questions (who and where), and is usually one of the first steps before applying higher-level multimodal scene analysis algorithms that address the other questions. In the last ten years, tracking algorithms have experienced considerable progress, particularly in indoor environment or for specific applications, where they have reached a maturity allowing their deployment in real systems and applications. Nevertheless, there are still several issues that can make tracking difficult: background clutter and potentially small object size; complex shape, appearance, and motion, and their changes over time or across camera views; inaccurate/rough scene calibration or inconsistent camera calibration between views for 3D tracking; real-time processing requirements. In what follows, we discuss some important aspects of tracking algorithms, and introduce the remaining chapter content.
Scenarios and Set-ups. Scenarios and application needs strongly influence the considered physical environment, and therefore the set-up (where, how many, and what type of sensors are used) and choice of tracking method. A first set of scenarios commonly involves the tracking of people in the so-called smart spaces (Singh et al., 2006).

Small-scale fish farming in tropical Africa is mainly based on pond culture of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus with supplementary organic fertilisation. Until recently, the ‘high’ stocking densities practised (2 fish·m–2) led to stunted populations and very low yields. Since 1996, rural fish farming developed significantly in Côte d’Ivoire. Only a dramatic decrease in stocking densities allowed fish farmers to produce marketable-sized tilapia with reasonable yield in extensive culture. Density control is achieved through tilapia monosex male culture and stocking the predator Hemichromis fasciatus. Further development of low-input tilapia farming requires improvement of production results. A growth model based on maximal growth and ingestion, maintenance needs and efficiency of food for growth was developed to explain and help optimise production results. The model was validated with farm and experimental data and demonstrated that, for a given rearing period (from 30–50 g fingerling, to market-size), yield increased with density, but then decreased beyond an optimal density. When market-weight target is set, the same variation of yield according to stocking density is observed. Densities of 2 to 3 fish·m–2 markedly reduce tilapia yield in extensive culture. Moreover, increasing market weight from 150 to 450 g·fish–1 will only induce a limited decrease in maximal yield (around 20 %) if the density is lowered and the rearing period lengthened. This decrease is more than compensated by the higher price of large tilapia. Using rearing cycle data, the model can predict the results of alternate combinations of stocking density and duration of rearing period under the same pond management. Thus, production results can be optimised given the objectives and constraints of each fish farmer. This model is a valuable tool to develop extensive tilapia farming in tropical areas, and raises questions for researchers.

L'association d'un prédateur à l'élevage de tilapias pour en contrôler la reproduction indésirable est aujourd'hui effectuée par un nombre croissant de pisciculteurs africains. Dans ce cadre, les Siluriformes (Clarias ou Heterobranchus sp.) sont souvent considérés comme ayant une double fonction : prédation et polyculture. Les résultats d'élevage associés Clarias gariepinus-Oreochromis niloticus montrent qu'un nombre important d'individus de Clarias gariepinus est nécessaire au contrôle total de la reproduction des juvéniles d'O. niloticus mis en charge et qu'ils exercent une compétition vis-à-vis des ressources alimentaires disponibles (aliment et/ou engrais) dans l'étang. Pour contrôler une population de 1 200 tilapias (mâles et femelles) en étang de 10 ares, une population de 260 Clarias gariepinus de poids moyen initial supérieur à 150 g est nécessaire et la croissance des tilapias est inférieure à celle d'un élevage identique dans lequel C. gariepinus est remplacé par un prédateur strict (Hemichromis fusciatus). Ces résultats, confirmés avec un autre Siluriforme, Heterobranchus isopterus, conduisent à privilégier dans le Centre Ouest de la Côte d'Ivoire la pratique d'une polyculture basée sur 3 espèces: O. niloticus, un prédateur strict (Hemichromis fasciatus ou Parachanna obscura) et un siluriforme, Heterohranchus isopterus dont la vocation n'est pas de contrôler la reproduction des tilapias mais de contribuer quantitativement et qualitativement à la production finale. H. longifilis, quant à lui, présente un taux de croissance trop élevé pour ce type d'association, entraînant rapidement un écart de taille avec les tilapias mis en charge sur lesquels il exerce une prédation de même que sur les carnassiers stricts sans contrôler efficacement la prolifération d'alevins de tilapias. Les rendements en H. isoprerus (0,l individu.m−2) peuvent atteindre 1 t.ha−1.an−1 et un poids moyen de 500 g après un cycle de 6 mois d'élevage. Sur la base de ces résultats, obtenus en vraie grandeur, cette logique de polyculture s'est déjà imposée auprès de nombreux pisciculteurs ivoiriens et semble pouvoir constituer un système d'élevage à vulgariser pour l'avenir.
