A Comparative Study on Multi-person Tracking Using Overlapping Cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a comparative study for tracking multiple persons using cameras with overlapping views. The evaluated methods consist of two batch mode trackers (Berclaz et al, 2011, Ben-Shitrit et al, 2011) and one recursive tracker (Liem and Gavrila, 2011), which integrate appearance cues and temporal information differently. We also added our own improved version of the recursive tracker. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of the type of background estimation (static vs. adaptive) on tracking performance. Experiments are performed on two novel and challenging multi-person surveillance data sets (indoor, outdoor), made public to facilitate benchmarking. We show that our adaptation of the recursive method outperforms the other stand-alone trackers.

People Re-identification in Non-overlapping Field-of-views using Cumulative Brightness Transform Function and Body Segments in Different Color Spaces
Non-overlapping field-of-view (FOV) cameras are used in surveillance system to cover a wider area. Tracking in such systems is generally performed in two distinct steps. In the first step, people are identified and tracked in the FOV of a single camera. In the second step, re-identification of the people is carried out to track them in the whole area under surveillance. Various conventional fea...
متن کاملTracking multiple interacting targets in a camera network
In this paper we propose a framework for tracking multiple interacting targets in a wide-area camera network consisting of both overlapping and non-overlapping cameras. Our method is motivated from observations that both individuals and groups of targets interact with each other in natural scenes. We associate each raw target trajectory (i.e., a tracklet) with a group state, which indicates if ...
متن کاملMulti-Target Tracking in Multiple Non-Overlapping Cameras using Constrained Dominant Sets
In this paper, a unified three-layer hierarchical approach for solving tracking problems in multiple non-overlapping cameras is proposed. Given a video and a set of detections (obtained by any person detector), we first solve within-camera tracking employing the first two layers of our framework and, then, in the third layer, we solve across-camera tracking by merging tracks of the same person ...
متن کاملJoint multi-person detection and tracking from overlapping cameras
We present a system to track the positions of multiple persons in a scene from overlapping cameras. The distinguishing aspect of our method is a novel, two-step approach that jointly estimates person position and track assignment. The proposed approach keeps solving the assignment problem tractable, while taking into account how different assignments influence feature measurement. In a hypothes...
متن کاملMulti-Observations Newscast EM for Distributed Multi-Camera Tracking
Visual surveillance in wide areas (e.g. airports) relies on multiple cameras which observe non-overlapping scenes. The focus of this thesis is multi-person tracking, where the task is to maintain a person’s identity when he or she leaves the field of view of one camera and later re-appears at another camera. While current wide-area tracking systems are central systems, we propose to use a distr...
