Object tracking in video is one of subject that computer vision and several practical application field have interest in several years. This paper proposes real time object tracking and face region extraction method that can be applied to security and supervisory system field. For this, in limited environment that camera is fixed and there is seldom change of background image, proposed method detects position of object and traces motion using difference between input image and background image. The system creates adaptive background image and extracts pixels in object using line scan method for more stable object extraction. The real time object tracking is possible through establishment of MBR(Minimum Bounding Rectangle) using extracted pixels. Also, effectiveness for security and supervisory system is improved due to extract face region in established MBR. And through an experiment, the system shows fast real time object tracking under limited environment.

Detection of moving objects is a fundamental task in most of the computer vision applications, such as video surveillance, activity recognition and human motion analysis. This is a difficult task due to many challenges in realistic scenarios which include irregular motion in background, illumination changes, objects cast shadows, changes in scene geometry and noise, etc. In this paper, we propose an foreground extraction algorithm based on codebook, a database of information about background pixel obtained from input image sequence. Initially, we suppose a first frame as a background image and calculate difference between next input image and it to detect moving objects. The resulting difference image may contain noises as well as pure moving objects. Second, we investigate a codebook with color and brightness of a foreground pixel in the difference image. If it is matched, it is decided as a fault detected pixel and deleted from foreground. Finally, a background image is updated to process next input frame iteratively. Some pixels are estimated by input image if they are detected as background pixels. The others are duplicated from the previous background image. We apply out algorithm to PETS2009 data and compare the results with those of GMM and standard codebook algorithms.

최근 영상 내에서 보행자를 검출하는 기술이 발전하면서 보행자 검출 기술이 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 영상 내에서 보행자들을 검출함으로써 보행자의 통행량이나 이동경로를 분석할 수 있고, 위험 지역이나 보안 지역에 진입하려는 보행자에게 경고를 줄 수도 있다. CCTV와 같이 고정된 카메라를 이용하여 촬영된 영상의 경우 배경 분리 기술을 적용할 수 있는데, 배경 분리 기술을 통해 영상 내에서 움직이는 물체의 영역을 검출해 낼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 배경 분리 결과를 이용하여 보행자 검출의 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 영상 내에서 보행자를 검출 했을 때, 보행자 외에 다른 영역이 보행자로 검출되는 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 이로 인해 보행자 검출의 정확도가 낮아진다. 하지만 배경 분리 결과를 이용하여 전경 부분에서만 보행자가 검출되도록 하고 배경 부분에서는 보행자가 검출되지 않도록 한다면, 보행자가 아닌 영역이 보행자로 검출되는 현상을 막을 수 있다. 실제 HDA Person Dataset에서 실험을 해본 결과, 정량적인 성능 향상을 확인 할 수 있었다.

동영상에서 객체 추적은 몇 년간 컴퓨터 비전 및 여러 실용적 응용 분야에서 관심을 가지는 주제 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 감시 시스템 분야에서 적용되어 질 수 있는 실시간 객체 추적 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 카메라가 고정되어 있고 배경영상의 변화가 거의 없는 환경으로 제한하고, 입력영상과 배경영상의 차를 이용하여 객체의 위치를 탐지하고 움직임을 추적한다. 객체 위치 탐지시 객체의 윤곽선 중 일부 점을 추출하고 추출된 점들을 이용, 객체의 무게중심을 구한다. 객체 추적시 가변 탐색창을 이용해 실시간으로 빠른 처리가 가능하도록 하였다. 그리고 실험을 통하여 제한된 환경하에서 실시간으로 빠른객체의 추적을 보인다.

This paper proposes a change detection method based on the covariance matrices of color and edge gradient in a color video. The YCbCr color format was used instead of RGB. The color covariance matrix was calculated from the CbCr-channels and the edge gradient covariance matrix was calculated from the Y-channels. The covariance matrices were effectively calculated at each pixel by calculating the sum, squared sum, and sum of two values' multiplication of a rectangle area using the integral images from a background image. The background image was updated by a running the average between the background image and a current frame. The change areas in a current frame image against the background were detected using the Mahalanobis distance, which is a measure of the statistical distance using covariance matrices. The experimental results of an expressway color video showed that the proposed approach can effectively detect change regions for color and edge gradients against the background.

In this paper, we present background modeling method based on Gaussian mixture model to subtract background for night-time video surveillance. In night-time video, it is hard work to distinguish the object from the background because a background pixel is similar to a object pixel. To solve this problem, we change the pixel of input frame to more advantageous value to make the Gaussian mixture model using scaled histogram stretching in preprocessing step. Using scaled pixel value of input frame, we then exploit GMM to find the ideal background pixelwisely. In case that the pixel of next frame is not included in any Gaussian, the matching test in old GMM method ignores the information of stored background by eliminating the Gaussian distribution with low weight. Therefore we consider the stacked data by applying the difference between the old mean and new pixel intensity to new mean instead of removing the Gaussian with low weight. Some experiments demonstrate that the proposed background modeling method shows the superiority of our algorithm effectively.

In online meetings and classes using webcams, the chromakey technique is a very necessary part to produce content. We proposed a technology that enables background synthesis without using a cloth for chromakey. The proposed method consists of three steps: an HSI image conversion step, a step of detecting a region changed from a background, and a step of replacing the background region with a chromakey and applying it. In the input video, the block average image of each frame is calculated, and the difference between the block average image of the background image and the block average image of the input image is used to detect the change area. The developed chromakey effect technology uses a technique of acquiring a background image without an object from a single camera and extracting only an object by distinguishing the moving object and the background. The proposed method is not only capable of processing even if the background has a variety of colors, but also has the seamless processing of the boundary lines of objects.

As the world is trying to establish smart city, unmanned vehicle control systems are being widely used. This paper writes about an unmanned parking control system that uses an adaptive background image modeling method, suggesting the method of updating the background image, modeled with an adaptive Gaussian mixture model, in both global and local way according to the moving object. Specifically, this paper focuses on suggesting two methods; a method of minimizing the influence of a moving object on a background image and a method of accurately updating the background image by quickly removing afterimages of moving objects within the area of interest to be monitored. In this paper, through the implementation of the unmanned vehicle control system, we proved that the proposed system can quickly and accurately distinguish both moving and static objects such as vehicles from the background image.

This paper proposes an efficient preprocessing technique for a binary centroid tracker in correlated image sequences. It is known that the following factors determine the performance of the binary centroid target tracker: (1) an efficient real-time preprocessing technique, (2) an exact target segmentation from cluttered background images and (3) an intelligent tracking window sizing, and etc. The proposed centroid tracker consists of an adaptive segmentation method based on novel distance features and an efficient real-time preprocessing technique in order to enhance the distinction between the objects of interest and their local background. Various tracking experiments using synthetic images as well as real Forward-Looking InfraRed (FLIR) images are performed to show the usefulness of the proposed methods.

In this letter, we investigate the impact of image downsampling on the performance of background subtraction in Full-HD soccer videos. To this end, we evaluated the performance of background subtraction in terms of both accuracy and computational time. Furthermore, for the sake of completeness, we used two different background subtraction methods under the same experimental setup. For the quantitative comparison, we employed the F-measure and FPS(frames per second). We believe that this study serves as a practically useful benchmark for researchers and practitioners in developing a fast background subtraction algorithm adopted for building real-time intelligent soccer video analysis systems.
