Pedestrian Head Detection and Tracking Using Skeleton Graph for People Counting in Crowded Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new head detection method for people counting in crowded environments from a single camera. Our method adopts skeleton graph to distinguish person among people in crowded enviroments. The usage of skeleton graph is the main difference between this method and the traditional ones. Firstly, the skeleton graphs are calculated for each selected blob in the scene after foreground estimation. Then, we explore the structural property of each blob for a head detection and to predict a number of people. Each detected head in a skeleton silhouette is identified as independent state or partially occluded state, and during tracking every state is updated. Finally, the experimental results are shown to demonstrate the robustness of our method.

Online multiple people tracking-by-detection in crowded scenes
Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...
متن کاملRobust pedestrian detection and tracking in crowded scenes
In this paper, a robust computer vision approach to detecting and tracking pedestrians in unconstrained crowded scenes is presented. Pedestrian detection is performed via a 3D clustering process within a region-growing framework. The clustering process avoids using hard thresholds by using bio-metrically inspired constraints and a number of plan view statistics. Pedestrian tracking is achieved ...
متن کاملVisual Analysis of Crowded Pedestrian Scenes
The tracking of individuals in cluttered scenes has been of much interest in Machine Vision research for more than a decade. A number of algorithms have been devised to track individuals and some of the algorithms have attempted the tracking of large groups of people. In this paper we discuss how to generate automatic maps of trends of movement in complex scenes, without the use of tracking. In...
متن کاملEstimation of Pedestrian Distribution in Indoor Environments using Multiple Pedestrian Tracking
[email protected] [email protected] Abstract We propose a two-tier data analysis approach for estimating distribution of pedestrian locations in an indoor space using multiple pedestrian detection and tracking. Multiple pedestrian detection uses laser measurement for sensing pedestrians in a heavily occluded environment which is usually the case with most indoor environments. . We adapt a ...
متن کاملAutomation of Pedestrian Tracking in a Crowded Situation
Studies on microscopic pedestrian requires large amounts of trajectory data from real-world pedestrian crowds. Such data collection, if done manually, needs tremendous effort and is very time consuming. Though many studies have asserted the possibility of automating this task using video cameras, we found that only a few have demonstrated good performance in very crowded situations or from a to...
