Hydra: multiple people detection and tracking using silhouettes

Haritaoglu, I., Harwood, D., Davis, L.S.·2003·Proceedings 10th International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing

Abstract

Hydra is a real-time system for detecting and tracking multiple people when they appear in a group. We describe the computational models employed by Hydra to track multiple people before, during and after occlusion. Hydra combines a silhouette-based shape model, a motion model, and correlation-based matching methods to classify whether or not a foreground region contains multiple people, and to segment the region into its constituent people and track them. Experimental results demonstrate robustness and real-time performance of the algorithm.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
