Observation of Pedestrians with Multiple Views

When pedestrians are observed using a view in the urban area, it is often difficult to track them because of the occlusions overlapped by roadside trees, traffic signs, advertising displays, street lamps, or another pedestrians. When multiple views are used for the observation of pedestrians, the state of the occlusion between views may be different. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to track pedestrians with multiple views taking an advantage of the differences of the state of their occlusion. In our proposal method, each pedestrian can be tracked even if a pedestrian is occluded at one view. Then, the location of an occluded pedestrian is estimated from the correspondence of pedestrians between views.
