Segmentation and Tracking of Human in Crowded Environments

Article Preview

Abstract:

The occlusion problem in crowded people environment makes human segmentation and tracking more difficult in video surveillance. Thus, a human segmentation method combing human model with body edge curve is presented. Because segmentation may result in serious defect and distortion, robust BP neural network model is adopted as tracking mode. For improving autonomous learning ability of BP network, Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP) is used to decide whether new types of human body characteristic data is generated, which provides decision basis for BP network learning. The simulation experiments confirm that the method presented in this paper can effectively solve the problem of partial human body occlusion. Meanwhile, this method has unique advantage of simplicity and real-time over others.
