The dynamic change of background and moving objects is an important factor which causes the problem of occlusion in tracking moving objects. The tracking accuracy is also remarkably decreased in the presence of occlusion. We therefore propose an active fusion model which is robust against partial occlusions that are occurred by background and other objects. The active fusion model is consisted of contour-based md region-based snake. The former is a conventional snake model using contour features of a moving object and the latter is a regional snake model which considers region features inside its boundary. First, this model classifies total occlusion into contour and region occlusion. And then it adjusts the confidence of each model based on calculating the location and amount of occlusion, so it can overcome the problem of occlusion. Experimental results show that the proposed method can successfully track a moving object but the previous methods fail to track it under partial occlusion.

In this paper, we propose a moving object tracking algorithm by using motion estimation in UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) video. Proposed algorithm is based on generation of initial image from detected reference image, and tracking of moving object under the time-varying image. With a series of this procedure, tracking process is stable even when the UAV camera sways by correcting position of moving object, and tracking time is relatively reduced. A block matching algorithm is also utilized to determine the similarity between reference image and moving object. An experimental result shows that our proposed algorithm is better than the existing full search algorithm.

This study deals with a color-based tracking method of a moving object effectively in case that the color of the moving object is same as or similar to that of background. The CamShift algorithm, which is the representative color-based tracking method, shows unstable tracking when the color of moving objects exists in the background. In order to overcome the drawback, this paper proposes the CamShift algorithm merged with depth information of the object. Depth information can be obtained from Kinect device which measures the distance information of all pixels in an image. Experimental result shows that the proposed tracking method, the Camshift merged with depth information of the tracking object, makes up for the unstable tracking of the existing CamShift algorithm and also shows improved tracking performance in comparison with only CamShift algorithm.

Active Contour Model, that is, Snake algorithm is effective for detection and tracking the objects. However, this algorithm has some drawbacks; numerous parameters must be designed(weighting factors, iteration steps, etc.), a reasonable initialization must be available and moreover suffers from numerical instability. Therefore we propose a novel Energy Corrected Snake(ECS) algorithm which improved on external energy of Snake algorithm for detection and tracking the moving object more effectively. The proposed algorithm uses the difference image, getting when the object is moving. It copies four direction images from the difference image and performs the accumulating compute to erasing image noise, so that it gets external energy steadily. Then external energy united with contour that is computed by internal energy. Consequently we can detect and track the moving object more speedily and easily. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we experiment on 3 situations. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm outperformed by 6$\sim$9% of detection rate and 6$\sim$11% of tracker detection rate compared with the Snake algorithm.

In this paper, we describe a strongly improved tracking method using combination of CAMshift and Kalman filter algorithm. CAMshift algorithm doesn't consider the object's moving direction and velocity information when it set the search windows for tracking. However if Kalman filter is combined with CAMshift for setting the search window, it can accurately predict the object's location with the object's present location and velocity information. By using this prediction before CAMshift algorithm, we can track fast moving objects successfully. Also in this research, we show better tracking results than conventional approaches which make use of single color information by using both color information of HSV and YCrCb simultaneously. This modified approach obtains more robust color segmentation than others using single color information.

칼라는 물체의 특성을 나타내는 고유한 성질 중의 하나로 칼라 정보를 이용하면 물체를 추적하는데 많은 도움을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 동일한 칼라의 물체일지라도 조명의 상태나 물체의 형태 등에 따라 실제 이미지 상에 나타나는 칼라는 조금씩 다른 칼라값을 갖는다. 따라서 칼라를 이용하여 물체를 표현하기 위해서는 이미지 상에 나타나는 이러한 물체의 칼라 분포를 효과적으로 모델링할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 또한 한번 모델링된 칼라일지라도 물체가 이동하거나 조명이 변화하게 되면 칼라의 분포가 변화하므로 모델링된 칼라가 이러한 변화에도 적절히 대응할 수 있어야 칼라 정보를 이용하여 물체를 추적할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 물체의 칼라 분포를 look-up table을 이용하여 모델링하고 추적하는 물체의 칼라 정보를 이용하여 모델링된 칼라 분포를 다시 갱신하는 적응형 look-up table 방법을 제시하였다. 적응형 look-up table은 모든 칼라값을 테이블로 표현하므로 어떠한 칼라 분포도 모델링할 수 있으며 연산시 단순 참조 방식으로 처리되기 때문에 빠른 계산이 가능하다. 또한 look-up table은 지속적으로 갱신되므로 조명의 변화나 물체의 이동 등으로 인한 칼라 분포의 변화에도 적절히 대응할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 칼라 정보를 이용하여 물체를 추적하는데 적응형 look-up table을 이용함으로써 적응형 look-up table의 타당성을 검증하였다.

현재의 영상정보를 이용한 이동물체 검출 알고리즘에서는 물체를 인식하는데 많은 처리시간을 소비한다. 이는 물체의 특징을 사용하여 대상 물체를 일치시키기 위해 대량의 컨볼루션 처리를 하기 때문이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 움직이는 물체에 대한 효율적인 궤적 추적 알고리즘의 하나로 행렬필터를 제시하고, 이를 적용한 어플리케이션을 통하여 이를 검증하려 한다.

In this paper, we propose the mobile object tracking algorithm based on the feature vector using particle filter. To do this, first, we detect the movement area of mobile object by using RGB color model and extract the feature vectors of the input image by using the KLT-algorithm. And then, we get the first feature vectors by matching extracted feature vectors to the detected movement area. Second, we detect new movement area of the mobile objects by using RGB and HSI color model, and get the new feature vectors by applying the new feature vectors to the snake algorithm. And then, we find the second feature vectors by applying the second feature vectors to new movement area. So, we design the mobile object tracking algorithm by applying the second feature vectors to particle filter. Finally, we validate the applicability of the proposed method through the experience in a complex environment.

The present paper propose a real-time moving object recognition and tracking method using the wavelet-based neural network and invariant moments. Candidate moving region detection phase which is the first step of the proposed method detects the candidate regions where a pixel value changes occur due to object movement based on the difference image analysis between continued two image frames. The object recognition phase which is second step of proposed method recognizes the vehicle regions from the detected candidate regions using wavelet neurual-network. From object tracking Phase which is third step the recognized vehicle regions tracks using matching methods of wavelet invariant moments bases to recognized object. To detect a moving object from image sequence the candidate regions detection phase uses an adaptive thresholding method between previous image and current image as result it was robust surroundings environmental change and moving object detections were possible. And by using wavelet features to recognize and tracking of vehicle, the proposed method decrease calculation time and not only it will be able to minimize the effect in compliance with noise of road image, vehicle recognition accuracy became improved. The result which it experiments from the image which it acquires from the general road image sequence and vehicle detection rate is 92.8%, the computing time per frame is 0.24 seconds. The proposed method can be efficiently apply to a real-time intelligence road traffic surveillance system.
