Semi-interactive tracing of persons in real-life surveillance data
Michael J. Metternich, Marcel Worring · 2010
To increase public safety, more and more surveillance cameras have been placed over the years. To deal with the resulting information overload many methods have been deployed, focusing either on real-time crime detection or post-incident investigation. In this paper we concentrate on post-incident investigation i.e. crime reconstruction using video data. For a complete crime reconstruction, the location of all persons of interest should be known before and during the incident. To do so, we follow persons within the field of view of a single camera (tracking) and between different cameras (tracing).
