Abstract :
We present a fully integrated real-time system to track humans with a network of stereo sensors over a wide area. The processing includes single camera tracking and multi-camera fusion. Each single camera detects and tracks humans in its own view and a multi-camera fusion module combines all the local tracks of the same human into a global track. We propose stereo segmentation and tracking techniques to handle multiple humans moving in groups in cluttered environments. We have developed a ground-based fusion method for camera handoff using space-time constraint. We show results and performance evaluation on very challenging data from a 12-camera system.
