A background model is built by fusing information from intensity and depth images. While a geometric constraint is employed to improve pixel cluster coherence and reducing the influence of noise, the {EM} algorithm (expectation maximization) is used for tracking moving clusters of pixels significantly different from the background model. Each cluster is defined through a statistical model of points on the ground plane. We show the benefits of the time-of-flight principles for people tracking but also their current limitations.", isbn_issn = "{DOI} 10.1109/CVPRW.2008.4563156" }
