Abstract

Manual analysis of pedestrians and crowds is often impractical for massive datasets of surveillance videos. Automatic tracking of humans is one of the essential abilities for computerized analysis of such videos. In this keynote paper, we present two state of the art methods for automatic pedestrian tracking in videos with low and high crowd density. For videos with low density, first we detect each person using a part-based human detector. Then, we employ a global data association method based on Generalized Graphs for tracking each individual in the whole video. In videos with high crowd-density, we track individuals using a scene structured force model and crowd flow modeling. Additionally, we present an alternative approach which utilizes contextual information without the need to learn the structure of the scene. Performed evaluations show the presented methods outperform the currently available algorithms on several benchmarks.
