Abstract

This paper is about tracking people in real-time as they move through the non-overlapping fields of view of multiple video cameras The paper builds upon existing methods for tracking moving objects in a single camera The key extension is the use of a stochastic transition matrix to describe people's observed patterns of motion both within and between fields of view The parameters of the model for a particular environment are learnt simply by observing a person moving about in that environment No knowledge of the environment or the configuration of the cameras is required.
