Abstract

The particle filter (PF) has been presented for tracking multiple people in a visual surveillance application. The particle filter has proven to be an efficient, simple and robust tracking algorithm to detect and track colour objects in video. Detection is based on automated background modelling rather than a manually generated object colour model. In this research a methodical comparison between the new PF tracking method and one other multi-object trackers is presented on the PETS 2004 benchmark data set. Reliable visual tracking is indispensable in many emerging vision applications such as automatic video surveillance, human computer interfaces and robotics. The PF tracker gives significantly fewer false alarms owing to explicit modelling of object birth and death processes, while maintaining a good detection rate.
