Robust pedestrian tracking using improved tracking-learning-detection algorithm
Ritika Verma, S. Indu · 2016
Manual analysis of pedestrians for surveillance of large crowds in real time applications is not practical. Tracking-Learning-Detection suggested by Kalal, Mikolajczyk and Matas [1] is one of the most prominent automatic object tracking system. TLD can track single object and can handle occlusion and appearance change but it suffers from limitations. In this paper, tracking of multiple objects and estimation of their trajectory is suggested using improved TLD. Feature tracking is suggested in place of grid based tracking to solve the limitation of tracking during out of plane rotation. This also leads to optimization of algorithm. Proposed algorithm also achieves auto-initialization with detection of pedestrians in the first frame which makes it suitable for real time pedestrian tracking.
