John Burnum
I am a rising Senior at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville where I am pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with a second major in Physics and a minor in Mathematics. The project I am working on this summer is to analyze crowd motion. The main goal is to, using surveillance video, derive information about the scene such as the locations of bottlenecks or other regions which can contain dangerous crowd behavior such as overcrowding, and to track crowds and attempt to predict when those regions might become dangerous. We quickly discovered that group detection and tracking is a fundamental subproblem to both of these problems and so are pursuing group detection and tracking techniques. Check out my weekly presentations below.
