Abstract

Laser devices have received increasing attention in numerous computer-aided applications such as automatic control, 3D modeling and virtual reality. In this paper, aiming at people counting, we propose a novel people detection and tracking method based on the multipoint infrared laser, which can further facilitate intelligent scene modeling and analysis. In our method, a camera with the infrared lens filter is utilized to capture the monitored scene where an array of infrared spots is produced by the multipoint infrared laser. We build a spatial background model based on locations of spots. Pedestrians are detected by clustering of foreground spots. Then, our method tracks and counts the detected pedestrians via inferring the forward–backward motion consistency. Both quantitative and qualitative evaluation and comparison are conducted, and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves excellent performance in challenging scenarios.
