Abstract

This paper presents an automatic visual analysis system for simultaneously tracking humans and vehicles using multiple cameras in an unconstrained outdoor environment. The system establishes correspondence between views using a principal axis approach for humans and a footage region approach for vehicles. Novel methods for locating humans in groups and solving ambiguity when matching vehicles across views are presented. Foreground segmentation for each view is performed using the codebook method and HSV shadow suppression. The tracking of objects is performed in each view, and occlusion situations are resolved by probabilistic appearance models. The system is tested on hours of video and on three different datasets.
