In addition to preserving privacy, our approach vastly reduces data transmission rate and is agnostic to eavesdropping. We develop two purely data-driven localization algorithms and study their performance using a network of 6 such sensors. In one algorithm, we divide the monitored floor area (2.37m×2.72m) into a 3×3 grid of cells and classify location of a single person as belonging to one of the 9 cells using a support vector machine classifier. In the second algorithm, we estimate person's coordinates using support vector regression. In cross-validation tests in public (e.g., conference room) and private (e.g., home) scenarios, we obtain 67-72% correct classification rate for cells and 0.31-0.35m mean absolute distance error within the monitored space. Given the simplicity of sensors and processing, these are encouraging results and can lead to useful applications today.

A promising solution to this problem has been recently proposed in the form of wavelet video coding based on motion-compensated temporal filtering (MCTF); scalability is naturally supported while efficiency is comparable ...

In contrast to othertechniques described in the literature, the proposedtransform is based upon a stochastic model of image covariancewithin the considered region. Emerging froma separable stationary Markov model proposed for rectangularregions [7], we derive a non-stationary Markovmodel with natural boundary conditions. We computeits eigentransform, which is the optimum linear transformunder a broad...

The basic problem in such a reconstruction, resulting from disparity compensation, is that of the recovery of a regularly-sampled image from its irregularly-spaced samples. This problem also arises in other image processing and coding applications. The results reported here improve our previous POCS-based reconstruction method by locally adapting the algorithm to the ...

As opposed to standard cameras, fisheye cameras offer a large field of view and, when mounted overhead, reduce occlusions. However, methods developed for standard cameras perform poorly on fisheye images since they do not account for the radial image geometry. Furthermore, no large-scale fisheye-image datasets with radially-aligned bounding box annotations are available for training. We adapt YOLOv3 trained on standard images for people counting in fisheye images. In one method, YOLOv3 is applied to 24 rotated, overlapping windows and the results are post-processed to produce a people count. In another method, YOLOv3 is applied to windows of interest extracted by background subtraction. For evaluation, we collected and annotated an indoor fisheye-image dataset that we make public. Experiments on this dataset show that our methods reduce the people counting MAE of two natural benchmarks by over 60%.
