Abstract
The pedestrian tracking device comprises: an image receiving unit for receiving, in time series, images continuously in time by an image capturing device; a pedestrian region selecting unit for sampling candidate pedestrian regions from an image received by the image receiving unit and for selecting a certain pedestrian region; a tracking unit provided in time series with the pedestrian region selected by the pedestrian region selecting unit for predicting motion of the pedestrian region and associating it with time direction by use of a skeleton model obtained by modeling a pedestrian, a distance-transformed image obtained from the pedestrian region and a Monte Carlo filter so as to track the pedestrian region; and a pedestrian trajectory display for displaying, in time series, the pedestrian region tracked by the tracking unit.
