Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we developed a people tracking method based on evaluation of occlusion and applied to analysis of the passing of people and a wheelchair. Based on the analysis of occlusion in several situations, we confirmed the occlusion ratio and the failure rate are correlated and proposed a tracking method that considers the computed occlusion ratio. We used the tracking method to analyze the passing of people and a wheelchair in a narrow corridor. By providing the motion plan of the wheelchair to the passenger and the pedestrian, we confirmed the movement of the pedestrian becomes smoother based on the accurate tracking method.
