Tracking Multiple Pedestrians in Crowd

Abstract

This paper proposes a robust method for tracking many pedestrians viewed from an upper oblique angle. Persons are extracted while they are isolated, and they are tracked forward and backward. In tracking, if the region of a tracked pedestrian is ambiguous because of overlapping with other pedestrians, plural candidates for a pedestrian path are generated, and false candidates are eliminated in other frames. We make an experiment using real image sequences to show the effectiveness of the method.
