본 논문에서는 다중 심도 카메라 기반의 실시간 피플 카운팅 시스템을 제안 한다. 카메라 영상으로부터 사람을 감지하고 추적하는 시스템 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로, 피플 카운팅 시스템은 쇼핑몰이나 대형건물의 출입구 등과 같은 다양한 환경에 적용될 수 있다. 기존 피플 카운팅 시스템에서의 급격한 조명의 변화나 겹침 현상, 가림 현상에 대한 해결 방법으로, 다중 심도 카메라 환경에서 동일 객체 추적을 위해 RLM(Range Laser Method)를 적용하고, 조명 등 환경 변화에 강인한 배경 제거 및 물체 검출 기법으로 가우시안 혼합 모델(Gaussian Mixture Model)을 적용해 객체인식에 대한 정확도를 높인다. 또한, 객체를 블랍(Blob)으로 지정해 확장 칼만 필터(Extended Kalman Filter, EKF) 방법으로 객체를 추적한다. 본 제안은 피플 카운팅 시스템에의 객체 검출 및 인식에 대한 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있으리라 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose the visual tracking algorithm that takes advantage of multiple random walkers. We first show the tracking method based on support vector machine as [1] and suggest a method that suppresses feature vectors extracted from backgrounds while preserve features vectors from foregrounds. We also show how to discriminate between foregrounds and backgrounds. Learned by reducing influences of backgrounds, support vector machine can clearly distinguish foregrounds and backgrounds from the image whose target objects are similar to backgrounds and occluded by another object. Thus, the algorithm can track target objects well. Furthermore, we introduce a simple method improving tracking speed. Finally, experiments validate that proposed algorithm yield better performance than the state-of-the-art trackers on the widely-used benchmark dataset with high speed.

A vehicle tracking system makes it possible to induce the vehicle movement path for avoiding traffic congestion and to prevent traffic accidents in advance by recognizing traffic flow, monitoring vehicles, and detecting road accidents. To track the vehicles effectively, those which appear in a sequence of video frames need to identified by extracting the features of each object in the frames. Next, the identical vehicles over the continuous frames need to be recognized through the matching among the objects' feature values. In this paper, we identify objects by binarizing the difference image between a target and a referential image, and the labelling technique. As feature values, we use the center coordinate of the minimum bounding rectangle(MBR) of the identified object and the averages of 1D FFT(fast Fourier transform) coefficients with respect to the horizontal and vertical direction of the MBR. A vehicle is tracked in such a way that the pair of objects that have the highest similarity among objects in two continuous images are regarded as an identical object. The experimental result shows that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods that use geometrical features in tracking accuracy.

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.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for detecting and tracking multiple moving objects based on morphological region merging from real-time video sequences. The proposed approach consists of adaptive threshold extraction, morphological region merging and detecting and tracking of objects. Firstly, input frame is separated into moving regions and static regions using the difference of images between two consecutive frames. Secondly, objects are segmented with a reference background image and adaptive threshold values, then, the segmentation result is refined by morphological region merge algorithm. Lastly, each object segmented in a previous step is assigned a consistent identification over time, based on its spatio-temporal information. The experimental results show that a proposed method is efficient and useful in terms of real-time multiple objects detecting and tracking.

이 논문에서는 가장 많이 알려진 tracking 알고리즘인 Particle-Filter 의 단점을 motion vector 를 기반으로 예측한 sampling 방법과 K-means clustering 을 이용하여 해결하려고 한다. Tracking 에서의 문제는 다중의 유사한 객체들이 merge 후 split 될 때 제대로 추적을 하지 못하고 한 객체만을 추적 한다는 데에 있었다. 그리고 split 되어 객체별로 추적이 가능하더라도 이전에 추적한 객체를 올바로 labeling 하지 못하는 문제가 있다는 것이다. 이 merge-split 문제는 개량된 K-means clustering 을 이용하고, labeling 문제는 motion vector 를 이용한 개량된 sampling 방법으로 개선하였다.

This paper proposes a multiple moving objects tracking system which is adaptable itself to circumstances. Snake model is sensitive to the start position value because it does not accurately express contours of objects in complex image. It can be improved as the proposed system gets background images by using difference images, segments objects using neighborhood pixels and assesses the position feature values acquired on the start position value to deformable Snake model. And also the system can simplify complex background images and reduce search regions by the constituent points of a Snake laid in Positions of object. It is showed that the proposed system can be appBied to multiple moving vehicle racking systems by the experimental results of 30fps AVI file.

본 논문은 칼만 필터를 이용한 다중 객체 추적 알고리즘에 대하여 다루고 있다. 기존의 객체 추적 알고리즘만을 이용하여 객체 추적을 하였을 경우, 잘못 검출되는 물체의 비율이 높았는데, 이를 해결하기 위하여, 본 실험에서는 움직이는 물체에 집중하여, 객체 추적을 하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 효과적인 객체 추적을 위하여, 우리는 우선 배경 분리 알고리즘의 결과 이미지에서 객체의 후보들을 찾았다. 실험적인 결과를 통해 비디오에서 오직 움직이는 물체에만 집중함으로써 우리는 효과적이고 효율적으로 객체를 추적할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, the utilization of the object tracking algorithm based on the deep learning model is increasing. A system for tracking multiple objects in an image is typically composed of a chain form of an object detection algorithm and an object tracking algorithm. However, chain-type systems composed of several modules require a high performance computing environment and have limitations in their application to actual applications. In this paper, we propose a method that enables real-time operation in low-performance computing environment by adjusting the computational process of object detection module in the object detection-tracking chain type system.

This paper presents a novel approach for representing the spatio-temporal topology of the camera network with overlapping and non-overlapping fields of view (FOVs) in Ubiquitous Smart Space (USS). The topology is determined by tracking moving objects and establishing object correspondence across multiple cameras. To track people successfully in multiple camera views, we used the Merge-Split (MS) approach for object occlusion in a single camera and the grid-based approach for extracting the accurate object feature. In addition, we considered the appearance of people and the transition time between entry and exit zones for tracking objects across blind regions of multiple cameras with non-overlapping FOVs. The main contribution of this paper is to estimate transition times between various entry and exit zones, and to graphically represent the camera topology as an undirected weighted graph using the transition probabilities.
