Abstract

Pedestrian position estimation in videos is an important technique for enhancing surveillance system applications. Although many studies estimate pedestrian positions by using human body detection, its usage is limited when the entire body expands outside of the field of view. Camera calibration is also important for realizing accurate position estimation. Most surveillance cameras are not adjusted, and it is necessary to establish a method for easy camera calibration after installation. In this paper, we propose an estimation method for pedestrian positions using face detection and anthropometric properties such as statistical face lengths. We also investigate a simple method for camera calibration that is suitable for actual uses. We evaluate the position estimation accuracy by using indoor surveillance videos.
