People Detection and Tracking Using a Fisheye Camera Network

Abstract

In this paper we study techniques for accurate detection, localization, and tracking of multiple people in an indoor scene covered by multiple top-view fisheye cameras. This is a rarely studied setting within the topic of multi-camera object tracking. The experimental results on test videos exhibit good performance for practical use. We also propose methods to account for occlusion by scene objects at different stages of the algorithm that lead to improved results.
