Tracking by Prediction: A Deep Generative Model for Mutli-Person localisation and Tracking
Current multi-person localisation and tracking systems have an over reliance
on the use of appearance models for target re-identification and almost no
approaches employ a complete deep learning solution for both objectives. We
present a novel, complete deep learning framework for multi-person localisation
and tracking. In this context we first introduce a light weight sequential
Generative Adversarial Network architecture for person localisation, which
overcomes issues related to occlusions and noisy detections, typically found in
a multi person environment. In the proposed tracking framework we build upon
recent advances in pedestrian trajectory prediction approaches and propose a
novel data association scheme based on predicted trajectories. This removes the
need for computationally expensive person re-identification systems based on
appearance features and generates human like trajectories with minimal
fragmentation. The proposed method is evaluated on multiple public benchmarks
including both static and dynamic cameras and is capable of generating
outstanding performance, especially among other recently proposed deep neural
network based approaches.Comment: To appear in IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer

Human Motion Trajectory Prediction: A Survey
With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments,
the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human
behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future
positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key
tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance
systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We
review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different
communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on
the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We
provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We
discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further
research.Comment: Submitted to the International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR),

Towards automated visual surveillance using gait for identity recognition and tracking across multiple non-intersecting cameras
Despite the fact that personal privacy has become a major concern, surveillance technology is now becoming ubiquitous in modern society. This is mainly due to the increasing number of crimes as well as the essential necessity to provide secure and safer environment. Recent research studies have confirmed now the possibility of recognizing people by the way they walk i.e. gait. The aim of this research study is to investigate the use of gait for people detection as well as identification across different cameras. We present a new approach for people tracking and identification between different non-intersecting un-calibrated stationary cameras based on gait analysis. A vision-based markerless extraction method is being deployed for the derivation of gait kinematics as well as anthropometric measurements in order to produce a gait signature. The novelty of our approach is motivated by the recent research in biometrics and forensic analysis using gait. The experimental results affirmed the robustness of our approach to successfully detect walking people as well as its potency to extract gait features for different camera viewpoints achieving an identity recognition rate of 73.6 % processed for 2270 video sequences. Furthermore, experimental results confirmed the potential of the proposed method for identity tracking in real surveillance systems to recognize walking individuals across different views with an average recognition rate of 92.5 % for cross-camera matching for two different non-overlapping views.<br/
