3D Person Tracking

The early work in 2014 continues through 2018 and beyond – it’s an open source person tracking project that is meant for creative uses of what is otherwise mere surveillance.

Installed ten multi-sensor installations (and counting) throughout 2014 & early 2015 using OpenPtrack, a scalable open-source tool for person detection and tracking using an arbitrary number of cameras and computers.

Along the way, extensively debugging, documenting, and working w/ initial developers to extend the functionality and usability of what is a complex (and frankly pretty amazing) tool.

Next up is a permanent installation on UCLA campus, an overhaul of documentation, and code modification to allow realtime control of calibration parameters.
