Multi-pedestrian tracking based on iterative filtering and observation discrimination
摘要
Multi-pedestrian tracking (MPT) has been widely applied in the fields of computer vision and artificial intelligence. Tracking-by-detection is a classic and efficient genre in MPT, which relies on the performance of detectors. In this paper, we proposed a multi-pedestrian tracker focused on effective detection results in complex scene. In detection algorithm, combination-of-parts (CoP) detection is operated over three iterations to suppress false negatives (FN), meanwhile, the overlap ratios of gray-scale histograms for head detection boxes are used to reduce false positives (FP), as the head detection boxes with low overlap ratios are filtered out. In tracking algorithm, the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence product of HSV histograms is introduced to reduce the re-initialization of pedestrian identity label, and the scale information of local observable regions for occluded or incomplete pedestrians is extracted, so as to re-associate the lost tracklets. Evaluation experiments tested on four datasets with various challenges demonstrate that the proposed method shows the superiority compared with several state-of-the-art MPT methods.
