Abstract
This paper aims to present the evolution of technical software which decodes the behavior of people who walk in the urban environment. It uses and analyzes video frames of a region which are recorded by a stationary, run of the mill, video camera. The software is able to track semi-automatically the motion of targets in a region of interest, and produce the route of the targets in a drawing environment and in a world coordinate system. The photogrammetric Direct Linear Transform (DLT) method with known terrain is used to extract the information from single video frames, simultaneously correcting the non-metric cameras’ systematic errors. The Least Square Method is employed to achieve increased accuracy.
