In intelligent surveillance systems, it is required to robustly track multiple people. Most of the previous studies adopted a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for discriminating the object from the background. However, it has a weakness that its performance is affected by illumination variations and shadow regions can be merged with the object. And when two foreground objects overlap, the GMM method cannot correctly discriminate the occluded regions. To overcome these problems, we propose a new method of tracking and identifying multiple people. The proposed research is novel in the following three ways compared to previous research: First, the illuminative variations and shadow regions are reduced by an illumination normalization based on the median and inverse filtering of the L*a*b* image. Second, the multiple occluded and overlapped people are tracked by combining the GMM in the still image and the Lucas-Kanade-Tomasi (LKT) method in successive images. Third, with the proposed human tracking and the existing face detection & recognition methods, the tracked multiple people are successfully identified. The experimental results show that the proposed method could track and recognize multiple people with accuracy.

조건부 밀도 전파(Condensation)는 강건한 추적 성능과 실시간 구현이 가능하다는 장점을 지닌다. 그러나 정확한 추적을 수행하기 위해서는 복잡한 형태 모델과 많은 수의 샘플을 요구하므로 현실적으로 실시간 다중 추적에 적합하지 않은 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 응용에 적합하도록 작은 탐색 공간을 갖는 이산 형태의 형태 모델과 다중 추적 시각 추적기간의 상호 경쟁 관계를 고려하여 적은 수의 샘플로도 좋은 추적 성능을 보이는 경쟁적 Condensation 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 경쟁적 추적 알고리즘은 복잡하게 이동하는 여러 군중을 실시간으로 강건하게 추적함을 보인다.

In this paper, we propose a real-time people tracking system with multiple CCD cameras for security inside the building. To achieve this goal, we present a method for 3D walking human tracking based on the IMPRESARIO framework incorporating cascaded classifiers into hypothesis evaluation. The efficiency of adaptive selection of cascaded classifiers has been also presented. The camera is mounted from the ceiling of the laboratory so that the image data of the passing people are fully overlapped. The implemented system recognizes people movement along various directions. To track people even when their images are partially overlapped, the proposed system estimates and tracks a bounding box enclosing each person in the tracking region. The approximated convex hull of each individual in the tracking area is obtained to provide more accurate tracking information. We have shown the improvement of reliability for likelihood calculation by using cascaded classifiers. Experimental results show that the proposed method can smoothly and effectively detect and track walking humans through environments such as dense forests.

In this paper, we propose a system for multiple people tracking using fragment based histogram matching. Appearance model is based on IHLS color histogram which can be calculated efficiently using integral histogram representation. Since histograms will loss all spatial information, we define a fragment based region representation which retain spatial information, robust against occlusion and scale issue by using disparity information. Multiple people labeling is maintained by creating online appearance representation for each people detected in scene and calculating fragment vote map. Initialization is performed automatically from background segmentation step.

For tracking a varying number of people using laser range finder, it is important to deal with appearance/disappearance of people due to various causes including occlusions. We propose a method for tracking people with automatic initialization by integrating observations from laser range finder. In our method, the problem of estimating 2D positions and orientations of multiple people's walking direction is formulated based on a mixture kalman filter. Proposal distributions of a kalman filter are constructed by using a mixture model that incorporates information from a laser range scanner. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our method.

본 논문은 유비쿼터스 스마트 공간에서 중첩 FOV와 비중첩 FOV에 대한 카메라 네트워크의 시공간 위상을 표현하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 이용하여 다중 카메라들간의 움직이는 객체들을 인식 및 추적하였으며 이를 통해 카메라 네트워크의 위상을 결정하였다. 다중 카메라의 영상으로부터 여러 객체들을 추적하기 위해 여러 가지 방법들을 사용하였다. 우선, 단일 카메라에서 객체들의 겹침 문제를 해결하기 위해서 병합-분리(Merge-Split) 방법을 사용하였으며, 보다 정확한 객체 특성을 추출하기 위해 그리드 기반의 부분 추출 방법을 사용하였다. 또한, 비중첩 FOV를 포함하는 다중 카메라의 보이지 않는 지역에 대한 객체 추적을 위해 등장과 퇴장 영역간의 전이시간과 사람들의 외형 정보를 고려하였다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 등장과 퇴장 영역간의 전이시간을 추정하고 전이확률을 이용하여 무방향 가중치 그래프로써 카메라 위상을 가시적으로 표현하였다.

Recently, people tracking technology is being required to various area including security application. This paper suggests a method to track people with multiple laser scanners to detect the waist part of human. Multi-target model and Kalman filter based estimation are employed to track the human movement. The proposed method is applied to a novel system to monitor the entrance area and to filter out the trespasser to pass through the door without identification. Experiments for various cases are performed to verify the usefulness of the developed system.

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the fields of video surveillance and mobile object tracking. This paper proposes a mobile object tracking algorithm. First, several parameters such as object window, object area, and expansion-contraction (E-C) parameter are defined. Then, a modified E-C algorithm for multiple-object tracking is presented. The proposed algorithm tracks moving objects by expansion and contraction of the object window. In addition, it includes methods for updating the background image and avoiding occlusion of the target image. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified experimentally. For example, the first scenario traces the path of two people walking in opposite directions in a hallway, whereas the second one is conducted to track three people in a group of four walkers.
