Abstract

This paper presents a set of methods for multi viewimage tracking using a set of calibrated cameras. Wedemonstrate how effective the approach is for resolvingocclusions and tracking objects between overlappingand non-overlapping camera views. Moving objects areinitially detected using background subtraction.Temporal alignment is then performed between eachvideo sequence in order to compensate for the differentprocessing rates of each camera. The Kalman filter isused to track each object in 3D world coordinates and2D image coordinates. Information is shared betweenthe 2D/3D trackers of each camera view in order toimprove the performance of object tracking andtrajectory prediction. The system is shown to be robustin resolving dynamic and static object occlusions.Results are presented from a variety of outdoorsurveillance video sequences
