Abstract

In order to address the challenges of occlusions and background variations, we propose a novel and effective rule-based multiple object tracking system for traffic surveillance using a collaborative background extraction algorithm. The collaborative background extraction algorithm collaboratively extracts a background from multiple independent extractions to remove spurious background pixels. The rule-based strategies are applied for thresholding, outlier removal, object consolidation, separating neighboring objects, and shadow removal. Empirical results show that our multiple object tracking system is highly accurate for traffic surveillance under occlusion conditions.
