In this report, we propose an algorithm of multiple persons tracking by cooperative multiple cameras, in a situation that it is difficult for single camera to track multiple persons. For example, when tracking two persons with two cameras for tracking, two persons can be tracked by exchanging pictures between the cameras for tracking. However, when the number of persons or cameras for tracking increases, we encounter such a problem that the exchanging images cause the increase of the amount of communications. Then, we use the center camera for understanding a status of cameras for tracking and the position of each person. Moreover, we try to track more persons than the number of cameras for tracking.
