Abstract

This paper proposes a distance measurement between pedestrian trajectories. This distance is used in a clustering method aiming to detect lanes of pedestrians in experimental data. The main ingredient is to take full advantage of the time sequence available. A study of the sensitivity of the clustering to the parameters shows it is possible to choose a stable set of parameters. We also define an order index based on the concept of entropy. The potential of this index is illustrated in the case of pedestrian lane detection.
