Experimental Results from Using a Rank and Fuse Approach for Multi-Target Tracking in CCTV Surveillance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study a novel approach to the problem of fusion of sensory information in tracking multiple targets in CCTV surveillance video. The approach, called Rank and Fuse (RAF) is based on multiple feature ranking and merging as opposed to a more typical combination of all scores (similarity or probability) in a single ranking. This has the advantages of low computational complexity, easy scalability to multiple features, and low-latency. Experimental results are presented to illustrate two aspects of the RAF approach for a difficult example from CCTV surveillance: the advantage of rank versus score combination, and the use of the rank versus score curve to decide which features to fuse.

Convolutional Gating Network for Object Tracking
Object tracking through multiple cameras is a popular research topic in security and surveillance systems especially when human objects are the target. However, occlusion is one of the challenging problems for the tracking process. This paper proposes a multiple-camera-based cooperative tracking method to overcome the occlusion problem. The paper presents a new model for combining convolutiona...
متن کاملCCTV Coverage Index Based on Surveillance Resolution and Its Evaluation Using 3D Spatial Analysis
We propose a novel approach to evaluating how effectively a closed circuit television (CCTV) system can monitor a targeted area. With 3D models of the target area and the camera parameters of the CCTV system, the approach produces surveillance coverage index, which is newly defined in this study as a quantitative measure for surveillance performance. This index indicates the proportion of the s...

Bearings only tracking is a challenging issue with many applications in military and commercial areas. In distributed multi-sensor multi-target bearings only tracking, sensors are far from each other, but are exchanging data using telecommunication equipment. In addition to the general benefits of distributed systems, this tracking system has another important advantage: if the sensors are suff...
