New database: PIROPO (People in Indoor ROoms with Perspective and Omnidirectional cameras)
The PIROPO database [Link] (People in Indoor ROoms with Perspective and Omnidirectional cameras) comprises multiple sequences recorded in two different indoor rooms, using both omnidirectional and perspective cameras. The sequences contain people in a variety of situations, including people walking, standing, and sitting. Both annotated and non-annotated sequences are provided, where ground truth is point-based (each person in the scene is represented by the point located in the center of its head). In total, more than 100,000 annotated frames are available.

Our analysis did not look at citations, or even authors, as this work has been previously published [2]. Rather, we performed a type of bibliometric analysis known as co-word analysis [3,4], which considers the keywords of papers, how keywords appear together on papers, and how these relationships…
