Abstract

This article describes the application of stereoscopic analysis to typical image pairs from a surveillance camera network. An approach is presented that establishes correspondences between people detections across adjacent views and derives an estimation of body height for each person in the overlapping parts of the camera views. Dense image matching is applied to short stereoscopic sequences and the results are incorporated in a subsequent monocular tracking to improve the positioning accuracy. The method does not depend on a dedicated stereo setup of the camera network but is applicable to suitable image pairs in addition to monocular people detection and tracking. Based on realistic image sequences, the performance of the proposed approach is evaluated and compared to a current method for appearance-based data association.
