Handling inter-object occlusion for multi-object tracking based on attraction force constraint
Résumé
This paper presents a novel social interaction relation, attraction
(interaction that would lead to occlusion for inter-object) for multiobject
tracking to handle occlusion issue. We propose to build attraction
by utilizing spatial-temporal information from 2D image plane, such as
decomposed distance between objects. Then pairwise attraction force
is obtained by the modeled attraction. Lastly, the attraction force is
used to improve tracking when hierarchical data association performs.
To meet requirements of practical application, we have our method evaluated
on widely used PETS 2009 datasets. Experimental results show
that our method achieves results on par with, or better than state-ofthe-
art methods.
