Abstract

This paper addresses the diagnosis of interactions between pairs of pedestrians in outdoor scenes, using a generative model for the trajectories. It is assumed that pedestrians’ motions are driven by a set of velocity fields, learned from the video signal. This model is extended to account for the interaction among pedestrians, using attractive/repulsive velocity components. An inference algorithm is provided to estimate the attraction/repulsion velocity from the pedestrian trajectory and characterize pedestrians’ interaction. Since we consider multiple motion models switched according to space-varying probabilities, inference is performed by combining a data association filter with a HMM-like forward algorithm. The proposed algorithm is denoted I-PDAF and is tested with synthetic data and pedestrians trajectories.
