In this paper, we address the problem of multiperson tracking in busy pedestrian zones using a stereo rig mounted on a mobile platform. The complexity of the problem calls for an integrated solution that extracts as much visual information as possible and combines it through cognitive feedback cycles. We propose such an approach, which jointly estimates camera position, stereo depth, object detection, and tracking. The interplay between those components is represented by a graphical model. Since the model has to incorporate object-object interactions and temporal links to past frames, direct inference is intractable. We, therefore, propose a two-stage procedure: for each frame, we first solve a simplified version of the model (disregarding interactions and temporal continuity) to estimate the scene geometry and an overcomplete set of object detections. Conditioned on these results, we then address object interactions, tracking, and prediction in a second step. The approach is experimentally evaluated on several long and difficult video sequences from busy inner-city locations. Our results show that the proposed integration makes it possible to deliver robust tracking performance in scenes of realistic complexity.

As many countries face rapid population aging, the supply of manpower for caregiving falls far short of the increasing demand for care. Therefore, if the care system can continuously recognize and track the care recipient and, at the first sign of a fall, promptly analyze the image to accurately assess the circumstances of the fall, it would be highly critical. This study integrates the mobility of drones in conjunction with the Dlib HOG algorithm and intelligent fall posture analysis, aiming to achieve real-time tracking of care recipients.

Biologically inspired intelligent methods have been applied to various sensing systems in order to extract features from a huge size of raw sensing data. For example, point cloud data can be applied to human activity recognition, multi-person tracking, and suspicious person detection, but a single RGB-D camera is not enough to perform the above tasks. Therefore, this study propose a 3D environmental map-building method integrating point cloud data measured via multiple RGB-D cameras.

Multi-view multi-human association and tracking (MvMHAT), is an emerging yet important problem for multi-person scene video surveillance, aiming to track a group of people over time in each view, as well as to identify the same person across different views at the same time, which is different from previous MOT and multi-camera MOT tasks only considering the over-time human tracking. This way, the videos for MvMHAT require more complex annotations while containing more information for self-learning. In this work, we tackle this problem with an end-to-end neural network in a self-supervised learning manner.

In view of occlusions and motion blurs which hinder the performance of pose tracking, we proposed to model humans as graphs and perform pose estimation and tracking by concentrating on the visible parts of human bodies which are informative about complete skeletons under incomplete observations. Specifically, the proposed framework involves three parts: (i) A Sparse Key-point Flow Estimating Module (SKFEM) and a Hierarchical Graph Distance Minimizing Module (HGMM) for estimating pixel-level and human-level motion, respectively; (ii) Pixel-level appearance consistency and human-level structural consistency are combined in measuring the visibility scores of body joints.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose significant risks to pediatric patients in outpatient settings. To prevent HAIs, understanding the sources and transmission routes of pathogenic microorganisms is crucial. This study aimed to identify the sources of opportunistic bacterial pathogens (OBPs) in pediatric outpatient settings and determine their transmission routes.
