Robust Multiple-person Tracking-by-detection using an Omnidirectional Camera

Abstract

We present an novel inter-person occlusion handling method for robust multi-person tracking-by-detection using a single omnidirectional camera. The proposed method matches particle filter trackers with detection areas based on the two types of matching scores: one-to-one matching score for single person tracking and many-to-one matching score for occlusion handling. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves robust multi-person tracking and resolves 63% of the tracking failures of the conventional method for a complex video sequence of 11 people walking around randomly.
