기존의 연구와 같이 정확한 피부색 영역을 추출하기 위해 색상공간을 조절하는 방식은 조명이나 주변환경의 영향에 따라 잘못된 결과를 낼 수 있다. Camshift 알고리즘을 이용한 추적을 할 때에도 대상에게 맞춰진 피부색 히스토그램을 이용해서 추적하지 않으므로 범용성이 떨어진다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Camshift 알고리즘의 최초추적 윈도우를 결정하고 히스토그램을 결정하여손 피부색 추적성능을 향상시켰다. 보편적인 피부색 필터를 이용하여 인체 전경을 추출하고, haar like feature detection (특징검출)을 이용하여 손 영역을 검색한다. 이후 피부색 필터를 통해 이진화 된 이미지를 이용해 원 영상을 마스킹 한 후 사용자 고유의 피부색의 히스토그램을 결정한다. 이 방법으로 얻은 히스토그램을 Camshift알고리즘에 적용하면 기존방식 으로 생성한 히스토그램을 사용할 때보다 좋은 추적 성능을 보인다.

An active object tracking algorithm using Pan and Tilt camera based in the stepwise application of region and color information from realtime image sequences is proposed. To reduce environment noises in input sequences, Gaussian filtering is performed first. An image is divided into background and objects by using the adaptive Gaussian mixture model. Once the target object is detected, an initial search window close to an object region is set up and color information is extracted from the region. We track moving objects in realtime by using the CAMShift algorithm which enables to trace objects in active camera with the color information. The proper tracking is accomplished by controlling the amount of pan and tilt to be placed the center position of object into the middle of field of view. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective than the hand-operated window method.

In this paper, we present an automatic image object tracking system for Studio cameras on the stage. For object tracking, we use the OpenCV-based Python program using PC, Raspberry Pi 3 and mobile devices. There are many methods of image object tracking such as mean-shift, CAMshift (Continuously Adaptive Mean shift), background modelling using GMM(Gaussian mixture model), template based detection using SURF(Speeded up robust features), CMT(Consensus-based Matching and Tracking) and TLD methods. CAMshift algorithm is very efficient for real-time tracking because of its fast and robust performance. However, in this paper, we implement an image object tracking system for studio cameras based CMT algorithm. This is an optimal image tracking method because of combination of static and adaptive correspondences. The proposed system can be applied to an effective and robust image tracking system for continuous object tracking on the stage in real time.

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.

Target-tracking systems are important for carrying out effective surveillance missions using mobile surveillance robots. In this paper, we propose a target-tracking algorithm using camera image data for a three-axis mobile surveillance robot and carry out an actual hardware test for verifying the proposed algorithm. The heading direction vector of a camera system is deduced from the position error between the viewfinder center and the object center in a camera image. The position error is obtained using the CAMShift(Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift) algorithm, an image processing technique. The performance test of an actual three-axis mobile surveillance robot was carried out for verifying the proposed target-tracking algorithm in a real environment.

In this paper, we propose a new method for tracking objects continously and successively based on fusion of region information, color information and motion template when multiple objects are occluded and splitted. For each frame, color template is updated and compared with the present object. The predicted region, dynamic template and color histogram are used to classify the objects. The vertical histogram of the silhouettes is analyzed to determine whether or not the foreground region contains multiple objects. The proposed method can recognize more correctly the objects to be tracked.

Human body motion is a non-verbal part for interaction or movement that can be used to involves real world and virtual world. In this paper, we explain a study on natural user interface (NUI) in human hand motion recognition using RGB color information and depth information by Kinect camera from Microsoft Corporation. To achieve the goal, hand tracking and gesture recognition have no major dependencies of the work environment, lighting or users' skin color, libraries of particular use for natural interaction and Kinect device, which serves to provide RGB images of the environment and the depth map of the scene were used. An improved Camshift tracking algorithm is used to tracking hand motion, the experimental results show out it has better performance than Camshift algorithm, and it has higher stability and accuracy as well.

Many mobile robot navigation methods utilize laser scanners, ultrasonic sensors, vision camera, and so on for detecting obstacles and path following. However, human utilizes only vision(e.g. eye) information for navigation. In this paper, we study a mobile robot control method based on only the camera vision. The Gaussian Mixture Model and a shadow removal technology are used to divide the foreground and the background from the camera image. The mobile robot uses a combined CAMSHIFT and KLT feature tracker algorithms based on the information of the foreground to follow a person. The algorithm is verified by experiments where a person is tracked and followed by a robot in a hallway.

얼굴의 특징점 추적은 많은 응용프로그램에서 사용된다. AAM기반의 접근방식은 정교한 얼굴 특징점 정보를 제공하지만 정확한 특징 점 추출을 위해 얼굴 모양 파라미터 초기화 문제와 연속 영상에서 얼굴의 이동이 클 경우 모션 보정에 대한 문제가 여전히 남아있다. 이러한 문제를 풀기 위해 본 논문에서는 CAMShift를 사용해 얼굴 영역을 추적하고, 얼굴 영역 내에서 입을 검출함으로써 AAM 검색을 위한 얼굴 모양 파라미터를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 알고리즘과의 비교 실험을 통해 얼굴의 움직임이 심한 상황에서도 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능이 매우 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Video surveillance is widely used in security surveillance, military navigation, intelligent transportation, etc. Its main research fields are pattern recognition, computer vision and artificial intelligence. This article uses OpenCV to detect and track vehicles, and monitors by establishing an adaptive model on a stationary background. Compared with traditional vehicle detection, it not only has the advantages of low price, convenient installation and maintenance, and wide monitoring range, but also can be used on the road. The intelligent analysis and processing of the scene image using CAMSHIFT tracking algorithm can collect all kinds of traffic flow parameters (including the number of vehicles in a period of time) and the specific position of vehicles at the same time, so as to solve the vehicle offset. It is reliable in operation and has high practical value.
