Abstract

Monitoring public space with imaging sensors to perform an object- or person-tracking is often associated with privacy concerns. We present a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) based approach to achieve this tracking that does not require the creation of conventional grey- or color images. These Dynamic Vision Sensors produce an event-stream of information, which only includes the changes in the scene.
The presented approach for tracking considers the scenario of fixed mounted sensors. The method is based on clustering events and tracing the resulting cluster centers to accomplish the object tracking. We show the usability of this approach with a first proof-of-concept test.
