The ORL active floor [sensor system]
TL;DR: A novel type of sensor system called the active floor is presented that allows the time-varying spatial weight distribution of the active office environment to be captured, showing that it differs substantially from other commonly encountered sensor systems.
A System for Tracking and Recognizing Multiple People with Multiple Camera
TL;DR: This paper presents a robust real-time method for tracking and recognizing multiple people with multiple cameras that works well even when people occlude one another.
