Abstract

Segmenting individual humans in a high-density scene (e.g.,a crowd) acquired from a static camera is challenging mainlydue to object inter-occlusion (Fig.1). We definethis problem asa "model-basedsegmentation"problem and the solution is obtainedusing a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach.Knowledge of various aspects including human shape, humanheight, camera model, and image cues including human headcandidates, foreground/background separation are integratedin a Bayesian framework. We show promising results on somechallenging data.
