Tracking in dense crowds using prominence and neighborhood motion concurrence

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose an online method for tracking dense crowds, capable of handling anomalies

• An alternative to existing methods which require modeling of crowd flows

• Introduce the notion of prominent individuals for tracking dense crowds

• Employ a new model, Neighborhood Motion Concurrence, to predict individual’s position

• Comparison with existing methods using ground truth for eight sequences
