Exploiting Multiple Cameras for Environmental Pathlets

چکیده
We present a novel multi-camera framework to extract reliable pathlets [1] from tracking data. The proposed approach weights tracks based on their spatial and orientation similarity to simultaneous tracks observed in other camera views. The weighted tracks are used to build a Markovian state space of the environment and Spectral Clustering is employed to extract pathlets from a state-wise similarity matrix. We present experimental results on five multi-camera datasets collected under varying weather conditions and compare with pathlets extracted from individual camera views and three other multi-camera algorithms.

Correlations between neural activity in primary motor cortex (M1) and arm kinematics have recently been shown to be temporally extensive and spatially complex. These results provide a sophisticated account of M1 processing and suggest that M1 neurons encode high-level movement trajectories, termed "pathlets." However, interpreting pathlets is difficult because the mapping between M1 activity an...
متن کاملDissertation S cene specific object detection and tracking
Object detection or object tracking are often the first steps towards an automatic video analysis. Numerous applications, such as visual surveillance, industrial applications or sports analysis utilize stationary cameras. Applications for analyzing video data from stationary cameras have to deal with a smaller variability within the data due to restricted environmental conditions. However, they...
متن کاملAutomated multi-camera planar tracking correspondence modeling
This paper introduces a methodology for robustly estimating a planar tracking correspondence model (TCM) for a large camera network directly from tracking data and for using that model to track objects through multiple cameras. By exploiting the characteristics of tracking data, our method can robustly estimate a planar TCM in large environments covered by many cameras. It is robust to scenes w...

Due to decreasing sensor prices and increasing processing performance, the use of multiple cameras in vehicles becomes an attractive possibility for environment perception. This contribution focuses on non-overlapping multi-camera configurations on a mobile platform and their purely vision-based self-calibration as well as their restrictions. The usage of corresponding features between the came...
متن کاملDecision-Theoretic Approach for Controlling and Coordinating multiple Active Cameras in Surveillance
This research presents a novel decision-theoretic approach to control and coordinate multiple active (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras to achieve high-quality surveillance. The decision-theoretic approaches provide robust mathematical frameworks that can model the interactions between the active camera network and the surveillance environment. It offers advantage of planning optimal control decisions for...
