초록

본 논문에서는 비정형 객체를 능동형태 모델을 사용하여 실시간으로 추적하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 객체를 추적 할 때, 가려진 부분의 윤곽을 추정해 낼 수 있는 능동형태 모델을 사용하였으며, 비디오의 각 프레임에서 처리과정의 시간을 줄이기 위해서 영상을 계층적으로 분리하여 실시간 처리를 가능하게 하였다 또한 다음 입력영상의 초기 윤곽을 효율적으로 찾기 위해서 칼만필터(Kalman filter)를 사용하여 특징점을 예측하였고, 블록 정합(block matching) 기법을 추가하여 예측 안정성을 향상시켰다. 비 계층적 방법, 비 예측 방법 등과 비교 실험을 통해서 제안된 계층적, 예측형 방식이 수렴속도 증가와 모델링의 정확도에서 모두 개선된 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper we proposed a hierarchical ASM for real-time tracking of non-rigid objects. For tracking an object we used ASM for estimating object contour possibly with occlusion. Moreover, to reduce the processing time we used hierarchical approach for real-time tacking. In the next frame we estimated the initial feature point by using Kalman filter. We also added block matching algorithm for increasing accuracy of the estimation. The proposed hierarchical, prediction-based approach was proven to out perform the exiting non-hierarchical, non-prediction methods.
