Assessing Temporal Coherence for Posture Classification with Large Occlusions
Abstract: In this paper we present a people posture classificationapproach especially devoted to cope with occlusions. Inparticular, the approach aims at assessing temporal coherenceof visual data over probabilistic models. A mixed predictiveand probabilistic tracking is proposed: a probabilistictracking maintains along time the actual appearance ofdetected people and evaluates the occlusion probability; anadditional tracking with Kalman prediction improves the estimationof the people position inside the room. ProbabilisticProjection Maps (PPMs) created with a learning phaseare matched against the appearance mask of the track. Finally,an Hidden Markov Model formulation of the posturecorrects the frame-by-frame classification uncertainties andmakes the system reliable even in presence of occlusions.Results obtained over real indoor sequences are discussed.
