Abstract
We propose a new tracking-by-detection algorithm for multiple targets from multiple dynamic, unlocalized and unconstrained cameras. In the past tracking has either been done with multiple static cameras, or single and stereo dynamic cameras. We register several moving cameras using a given 3D model from Structure from Motion (SfM), and initialize the tracking given the registration. The camera uncertainty estimate can be efficiently incorporated into a flow-network formulation for tracking. As this is a novel task in the tracking domain, we evaluate our method on a new challenging dataset for tracking with multiple moving cameras and show that our tracking method can effectively deal with independently moving cameras and camera registration noise.
