Networked multiple CCTV systems are required to effectively trace down long-term abnormal behaviors, such as stalking. However, the occluding event, which often takes place during tracking, may result in critical errors of cessation of tracing, or tracking wrong objects. Thus, utilizing installed regular CCTVs, this study aims to trace the relation tracking in a continuous manner by recognizing distinctive features of each object and its perspective projection depth to address the problem with occluded objects. In addition, this study covers occlusion event between the stationary background objects, such as street lights, or walls, and the targeted object.

본 논문에서는 복잡 배경을 포함한 비디오 영상에서 객체 변형 및 겹침에 강건한 칸투어 추적 방법을 제안한다. 복잡 배경에서의 칸투어 추출 문제를 해결하기 위해 텍스처 분석과 노이즈 필터링 과정을 거치며, 보다 객체 원형에 가까운 칸투어 추출을 위해 각 칸투어 포인터 간 최소 경로 측정 알고리즘을 적용한다. 객체 추적 방법에 있어서 추출된 칸투어 정보는 연속된 프레임 상에서 객체 움직임이 발생했을 때 추적 위치를 판별하기 위한 모션 벡터로 사용되며, 시점에 따라 형태가 변하는 상황을 포함한 팬, 틸트, 줌에도 안정적 추적이 가능하게 하기 위해, 폐곡선을 이루는 각 칸투어 포인터들의 움직임 벡터와 칸투어내 면적의 변화에서 측정되는 이동도 측정을 통하여 객체 위치 추적을 가능하게 하였다. 또한 매 추적 과정을 진행함에 있어서 다른 객체의 겹침 및 모양변형 발생여부 검사과정을 통하여, 안정적인 추적이 가능하게 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 성능을 검증하기 위해 다양한 배경을 갖는 복잡 배경에 존재하는 비정형 객체를 대상으로 실험하였고, 제안된 방법이 효율적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

백내장 수술에서 인공수정체 삽입영역을 표시하고 제어하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 수술시 발생하는 삽입영역 제어의 오차는 시력의 저하를 가져온다. 이를 위해 디지털 이미지 프로세싱을 이용한 많은 추적 방법이 연구 중에 있다. 그 중에서 템플릿 매칭은 실시간성이 뛰어난 객체 추적 방법으로 인공수정체 삽입 영역 추적 방법으로 사용 될 수 있다. 그러나 템플릿 매칭 방법은 입력 영상과 템플릿 영역의 상관관계만을 따지며 추적하기 때문에 추적 할 객체의 물체 겹침 상황이 발생하면 정확한 추적이 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 템플릿 매칭 방법을 이용하여 인공수정체 삽입 영역을 추적하고 특정 영역의 버퍼들을 사용하여 물체 겹침 상황을 해결하고자 한다.

이동 기기의 발달로 이동 객체의 위치 정보에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 시공간 데이타베이스에서 요구하는 질의를 효과적으로 처리하기 위한 인덱스 구조는 많지 않다. 사용자는 먼저 범위 질의를 던져 이동 객체를 뽑아낸 후 궤적 질의를 던지게 되는데 이것을 결합 질의라 한다. 기존 방법인 TB-tree는 MBR의 겹침이 심해 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 결합 질의를 효과적으로 처리할 수 있는 CR-tree 인덱스 구조를 제안한다. CR-tree는 R-tree와 연곁노드로 구성된다. R-tree 부분은 MBR의 겹침을 최소화해 범위 질의를 효과적으로 처리하고 연결 노드 부분은 이동 객체별로 궤적의 부분을 차례로 저장해서 궤적 질의를 빠르게 저리한다. 즉 결합 질의시 R-tree를 이용해 범위에 속하는 이동 객체를 검색하고 연결 노드를 이용해 그 객체의 궤적을 찾는다.

In this paper, we propose a method that merges and splits players in the MeanShift tracking framework. The MeanShift tracking moves the center of tracking window to the maximum probability location given the target probability distribution. This tracking method has been widely used for real-time tracking problems because of its fast processing speed. However, it hardly handles occlusions in multiple object tracking systems. Occlusions can be usually solved by applying data association methods. In this paper, we propose a method that can be applied before data association methods. The proposed method automatically merges and splits the overlapped players by adjusting the each player's tracking map. We have compared the tracking performance of the MeanSfhit tracking algorithm and the proposed method.

This paper presents optimal configurations of multidimensional path indexes (MPIs) for the efficient execution of object-oriented queries in object databases. MPI uses a multidimensional index structure for efficiently supporting nested predicates that involve both nested attribute and class hierarchies, which are not supported by the nested attribute index using one-dimensional index structure such as $B^+$-tree. In this paper, we have analyzed the MPIs in the framework of complex queries, containing conjunctions of nested predicates, each one involving a path expression having target classes and domain classes substitution. First of all, we have considered MPI operations caused by updating of object databases, and the use of the MPI in the case of a query containing a single nested predicate. And then, we have considered the use of the MPIs in the framework of more general queries containing nested predicates over both overlapping and non-overlapping paths. The former are paths having common subpaths, while the latter have no common subpaths.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to track human body of input video from a single camera. The proposed method gets the difference image between gray image of input image and one of background image and also the difference image between hue image of input image and one of background image. Then we combine the results, splits foreground and background and detect human body objects. Then each object is numbered and is tracked. The proposed method tracks each object using the intensity and hue histogram of local area in objects. The proposed method is applied to video from a camera and tracked well the hided objects and the overlapped objects.

In this paper, we propose a robust object tracking algorithm based on model and edge, using deformed template and Level-Set theory. The proposed algorithm can track objects in case of background variation, object flexibility and occlusions. First we design a new potential difference energy function(PDEF) composed of two terms including inter-region distance and edge values. This function is utilized to estimate and refine the object shape. The first step is to approximately estimate the shape and location of template object based on the assumption that the object changes its shape according to the affine transform. The second step is a refinement of the object shape to fit into the real object accurately, by using the potential energy map and the modified Level-Set speed function. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can track non-rigid objects under various environments, such as largely flexible objects, objects with large variation in the backgrounds, and occluded objects.

This paper proposes a real-time processing method to simplify the image input procedure while extracting and tracing a specified object among multiple ones. In order to extract an object in a specified area among multiple objects of indoor environment and tracing the extracted object continuously, it is verified through experiments that the information interchanged between cameras upwards and in front of it have effect on tracing a specified object continuously. The camera located upward transfers its x-axis data of the input image to the front camera so that the front camera can catch the area of object soon without computing the information of x-axis. The front camera can't resolve the problem of objects overlapping till they share information with the upward camera. The result of the experiment shows that the computation for tracing an object is simplified and the accuracy for extracting and tracing is upgraded.

Growing efforts and interests of security techniques in a diverse surveillance environment, the intelligent surveillance system, which is capable of automatically detecting and tracking target objects in multi-cameras environment, is actively developing in a security community. In this paper, we propose an effective visual surveillance system that is avaliable to track objects continuously in multiple non-overlapped cameras. The proposed object tracking scheme consists of object tracking module and tracking management module, which are based on hand-off scheme and protocol. The object tracking module, runs on IP camera, provides object tracking information generation, object tracking information distribution and similarity comparison function. On the other hand, the tracking management module, runs on video control server, provides realtime object tracking reception, object tracking information retrieval and IP camera control functions. The proposed object tracking scheme allows comprehensive framework that can be used in a diverse range of application, because it doesn't rely on the particular surveillance system or object tracking techniques.
