Segmentation and Tracking of Multiple Humans in Crowded Environments

Tao Zhao, Nevatia, R., Bo Wu·2008·IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence

Abstract

Segmentation and tracking of multiple humans in crowded situations is made difficult by interobject occlusion. We propose a model based approach to interpret the image observations by multiple, partially occluded human hypotheses in a Bayesian framework. We define a joint image likelihood for multiple humans based on the appearance of the humans, the visibility of body obtained by occlusion reasoning, and foreground/background separation. The optimal solution is obtained by using an efficient sampling method, data-driven Markov chain Monte Carlo (DDMCMC), which uses image observations for proposal probabilities. Knowledge of various aspects including human shape, camera model, and image cues are integrated in one theoretically sound framework. We present experimental results and quantitative evaluation, demonstrating that the resulting approach is effective for very challenging data.

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.
