Definition

People tracking is the process of estimating and recording the locations of target people in 2D image sequences (monocular computer vision) or 3D spaces over time (binocular computer vision). It may also refer to the process of estimating and recording the pose (or joint locations) of target people.

Background

Visual object tracking is a fundamental problem in computer vision. As a person is the most important type of object, people tracking has received tremendous interest from both academia and industry. While generic object tracking methods can be directly applied to people tracking, there are also many algorithms and schemes that are tailored for people tracking.

Monocular People Tracking

Monocular people tracking finds applications in surveillance, video indexing, and many other video analytic applications. When a specific person is considered, people tracking can be treated as a generic visual object...
