This paper propose a novel method for tracking moving object based on covariance matrix and Riemannian Manifolds. With image backgrounds continuously changed, we use the covariance matrices to extract features for tracking nonrigid object undergoing transformation and deformation. The covariance matrix can make fusion of different types of features and has its small dimension, therefore we enable to handle the spatial and statistical properties as well as the component correlation. The proposed method can estimate the position of the moving object by employing the covariance matrix of object region as a feature vector and comparing the candidate regions. Rimannian Geometry is efficiently adapted to object deformation and change of shape and improve the accuracy by using geodesic distance to predict the estimated position with the minimum distance. The experimental results have shown that the proposed method correctly tracked the moving object.

In this paper, we propose a real tine moving object tracking system based on block-based image processing technique and human visual processing. The system has two nun features. First, to take advantage of the merit of the biological mechanism of human retina, the system has two cameras, a CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) camera equipped with wide angle lens for more wide scope vision and a Pan-Tilt-Zoon tamers. Second, the system divides the input image into a numbers of blocks and processes coarsely to reduce the rate of tracking error and the processing time. Tn an experiment, the system showed satisfactory performances coping with almost every noisy image, detecting moving objects very int and controlling the Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera precisely.

Moving object tracking improves the efficiency and qualification for observation system, broadcasting system, video conference, etc. This paper propcses an improved Bayes decision method for detecting and tracking moving objects in active camera environment. The Bayes decision based tracking approach finds the region of moving objects by analyzing the image sequences statistically. The propcsed algorithm regenerates the probability density function to accord with moving objects and background for active camera. Experimental results show that the algorithm is accurate. reliable and noise resistant. The result is compared with those of the conventional methods.

In this paper, we propose an object tracking system which extracts moving areas+ shaped on objects in video sequences and decides tracks of moving objects. Color invariances are exploited to extract the plausible object blocks and the degree of radial homogeneity is utilized as local block feature to find out the block correspondences.

Shadow is a common physical phenomenon in natural images and may cause problems in computer vision tasks. Therefore, shadow removal is an essential preprocessing process for effective moving object tracking in video image. In this paper, we proposed the method of shadow removal algorithm using chromaticity, brightness distortion and direction of shadow candidate. The proposed method consists of two steps. First, removal process of primary shadow candidate region by using chromaticity, brightness and distortion. The second stage applies the final shadow candidate region to obtain a direction feature of shadow which is estimated by the thinning algorithm after calculating the lowest pixel position of the moving object. To verify the proposed approach, some experiments are conducted to draw a compare between conventional method and that of proposed. Experimental results showed that proposed methodology is simple, but robust and well adaptive to be need to remove a shadow removal operation.

This paper presents a real-time Hausdorff matching algorithm for tracking of moving object acquired from an active camera. The proposed method uses the edge image of object as its model and uses Hausdorff distance as the cost function to identify hypothesis with the model. To enable real-time processing, a high speed approach to calculate Hausdorff distance and half cross matching method to improve performance of existing search methods are also presented. the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately track moving object in real-time.

다중 물체 추적은 움직이는 물체를 추출하고 추출된 정보와 물체 정보를 이용하여 움직임 궤도를 추적하는 것이다. 따라서 정확한 움직임 궤도 추적이 수행되어지려면 우선적으로 물체의 수에 해당하는 Object 추출이 선행되어져야 한다. 물체 추적 시 물체 추출은 주로 처리속도가 빠르고 효율적인 배경영상을 이용한 차영상 기법을 이용하는데 이 경우 배경 영상 갱신이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 실세계조명 하에서 장시간 다중 물체 추적이 가능하도록 물체의 움직임이 아닌 물체의 위치에 기반한 배경 영상 획득 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose a fast and robust framework for detecting and tracking multiple targets. The proposed system includes two modules: object detection module and object tracking module. In the detection module, we preprocess the input images frame by frame, such as gray and binarization. Next after extracting the foreground object from the input images, morphology technology is used to reduce noises in foreground images. We also use a block-based histogram analysis method to distinguish human and other objects. In the tracking module, color-based tracking algorithm and Kalman filter are used. After converting the RGB images into HSV images, the color-based tracking algorithm to track the multiple targets is used. Also, Kalman filter is proposed to track the object and to judge the occlusion of different objects. Finally, we show the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method through experiments.

An effective algorithm for implementation of which detects moving object from image sequences. predicts the direction of it. and drives the camera in real time is proposed. In static camera, for robust motion detection from a dynamic background scene, the proposed algorithm performs statistical modeling of moving objects and background, and trains the statistical modeling of moving objects and background, and trains the statistical feature of background with the initial parts of sequence which have no moving objects. Active camera moving objects are segmented by following procedure, an improved order adaptive lattice structured linear predictor is used. The proposed algorithm shows robust object tracking results in the environment of static or active camera. It can be used for the unmanned surveillance system, traffic monitoring system, and autonomous vehicle.
