Pedestrian tracking through camera network for wide area surveillance

Tracking individual pedestrians through camera network is quite important for the security issue today. In the practical use, occlusion robust methods for pedestrian matching between cameras with overlapping view are necessary. However, such matching should be processed without camera calibrations that require real world coordination. In this paper, we proposed an occlusion robust method for pedestrian matching in overlapping view of contiguous cameras. Instead of real world coordination of cameras, the matching algorithm requires quite simple calibration between continuous cameras.
