Multiple Camera Person Tracking in Multiple Layers Combining 2D and 3D Information

Institute for Human Machine CommunicationTechnische Universitat Munc hen, Germanyarsic, schuller, rigoll @tum.deAbstract. CCTV systems have been introduced in most public spacesin order to increase security. Video outputs are observed by human op-erators if possible but mostly used as a forensic tool. Therefore it seemsdesirable to automate video surveillance systems, in order to be able todetect potentially dangerous situations as soon as possible. Multi camerasystems have seem to be the prerequisite for huge spaces where frequentlyocclusions appear. In this treatise we will present a system which robustlydetects and tracks objects in a multi camera environment and performsa subsequent behavioral analysis based on luggage related events.
