This work presents an architecture based on a modular and hierarchically-organised system to perform Multiple-Target Tracking (MTT). A set of co-operating modules, which work following both bottom-up and top-down paradigms, ...

Advanced segmentation techniques in the surveillance domain deal with shadows to avoid distortions when detecting moving objects. Most approaches for shadow detection are still typically restricted to penumbra shadows and ...

The basis for the high-level interpretation of observed patterns of human motion still relies on motion segmentation. Popular approaches based on background subtraction use colour information to model each pixel during a ...

In the present paper, we propose a highly accurate and robust people detector, which works well under highly variant and uncertain conditions, such as occlusions, false positives and false detections. These adverse conditions, ...
