Abstract

Multiple-target tracking represents a challenging question in uncontrolled scenarios. Due to high-level applications, such as behavioral analysis, the need of a robust tracking system is high. In a multiple tracking scenario it is necessary to consider and resolve occlusions, as well as formations and splitting of object groups. In this work, a method based in a hierarchical architecture for multiple tracking is proposed to deal with these matters. Background subtraction, blob detection, low-level tracking, collision detection and high-level appearance tracking is used to avoid occlusion and grouping problems. Experimental results show promising results in tracking management, grouping, splitting, occlusion events, while remains invariant to illumination changes.
