PEDESTRIAN TRACKING AND COUNTING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR NEAR-FRONT TOP-VIEW MONITORING VIDEO

摘要

Disclosed are a pedestrian tracking and counting method and device for a near-front top-view monitoring video. The method comprises: acquiring a video image under a current monitoring scene; comparing the acquired video image with a background image, and when it is determined that the video image is a foreground image, segmenting and combining each blob in the foreground image to obtain a target blob representing an individual pedestrian; and according to the centre-of-mass coordinate of each target blob in a detection region, performing tracking and counting to obtain the number of pedestrians under the current monitoring scene. The present invention can improve the accuracy rate of a counting result.
