Abstract
Applications within the field of Looking at People only make sense when the analyzed imagery contains one or more humans. The first step in such systems is therefore to determine if one or more humans are present and where in the scene they are. Moreover, since many applications require a number of consecutive frames containing people in order to do any processing, tracking of individuals is often a requirement. This part provides an overview of detection and tracking methods though six different chapters ranging from body and face detection, over tracking of multiple people to an overview of public benchmarking datasets for evaluation. This first chapter in this part introduces the remaining chapters and finally provides pointers to possible future research directions within these fields.
