Recently, various and effective contrast based salient object detection models to focus on a single target have been proposed. However, there is a lack of research on detection of multiple objects, and also it is a more challenging task than single target process. In the multiple target problem, we are confronted by new difficulties caused by distinct difference between properties of objects. The characteristic of existing models depending on the global maximum distribution of data point would become a drawback for detection of multiple objects. In this paper, by analyzing limitations of the existing methods, we have devised three main processes to detect multiple salient objects. In the first stage, regional features are extracted from over-segmented regions. In the second stage, the regional features are categorized into homogeneous cluster using the mean-shift algorithm with the kernel function having various sizes. In the final stage, we compute saliency scores of the categorized regions using only spatial features without the contrast features, and then all scores are integrated for the final salient regions. In the experimental results, the scheme achieved superior detection accuracy for the SED2 and MSRA-ASD benchmarks with both a higher precision and better recall than state-of-the-art approaches. Especially, given multiple objects having different properties, our model significantly outperforms all existing models.

A Snake is an active contour for representing object contours. Traditional snake algorithms are often used to represent the contour of a single object. However, if there is more than one object in the image, the snake model must be adaptive to determine the corresponding contour of each object. Also, the previous initialized snake contours risk getting the wrong results when tracking multiple objects in successive frames due to the weak topology changes. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we present a new snake method for efficiently tracking contours of multiple objects. Our proposed algorithm can provide a straightforward approach for snake contour rapid splitting and connection, which usually cannot be gracefully handled by traditional snakes. Experimental results of various test sequence images with multiple objects have shown good performance, which proves that the proposed method is both effective and accurate.

This paper presents a development result for image processed tracking system of multiple moving objects based on Kalman filter and a simple window tracking method. The proposed algorithm of foreground detection and background adaptation (FDBA) is composed of three modules: a block checking module(BCM), an object movement prediction module(OMPM), and an adaptive background estimation module (ABEM). The BCM is processed for checking the existence of objects. To speed up the image processing time and to precisely track multiple objects under the object's mergence, a concept of a simple window tracking method is adopted in the OMPM. The ABEM separates the foreground from the background in the reset simple tracking window in the OMPM. It is shown through experimental results that the proposed FDBA algorithm is robustly adaptable to the background variation in a short processing time. Furthermore, it is shown that the proposed method can solve the problems of mergence, cross and split that are brought up in the case of tracking multiple moving objects.

본 연구는 다중의 동력장치를 이용하여 다수의 객체를 움직이는 키네틱 디자인작품을 제작하면서 다수의 객체를 소수의 동력장치를 이용하여 다수의 동력장치를 이용한 것 같은 다양한 움직임을 구현할 수 있게 하는 것이 목적이다. 다수의 객체를 다양하게 움직이기 위해선 다수의 동력장치를 사용하여 움직임을 나타내는 것이 일반적인 방법이나 이렇게 하면 객체만큼의 많은 동력장치를 이용해야 하며 과다한 동력장치 사용으로 비용의 상승과 작품무게가 증가하게 된다. 많은 동력장치를 움직이기 위한 많은 전력 소모를 하게 된다. 이에 소수의 동력장치로 다수의 객체를 다양한 움직임을 통해 제어할 수 있는 메커니즘을 작품에 적용하여 실험하였다. 메커니즘을 이용해 다수의 객체를 움직이면 작품의 무게와 전력 소모량을 현저하게 줄일 수 있었다. 또한, 캠의 위치와 모양을 변경한 캠샤프트 구조의 이용과 베벨기어의 이용을 통해 객체의 행과 열을 늘려 다양한 움직임을 표현할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 키네틱 디자인 작품을 제작하는 많은 디자이너에게 다수의 객체를 제어하는 하나의 또 다른 방법을 제시하게 된다.

본 논문에서는 비젼 카메라와 다중 객체 추적 방법을 이용한 실시간 수질 감시 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 기존의 센서 방식의 감시 시스템과 달리 비젼 카메라를 이용해 객체를 개별적으로 분석한다. 비젼 카메라를 이용한 시스템은 영상에서 개별 객체를 분리해 내는 방법과, 연속하는 두 프레임간의 상관관계에 의해서 다수의 객체를 추적하는 방법으로 구성된다. 실시간 처리를 위해 비모수 예측을 사용하여 배경 영상을 생성하고 이를 이용해 객체를 추출한다. 비모수 예측을 이용하면 연산량을 줄이는 동시에 비교적 정확하게 객체를 추출 할 수 있다. 다중 객체 추적 방법은 개별 객체가 움직이는 방향, 속도 및 가속도를 이용해 다음 움직임을 예측하고 이를 기반으로 추적을 수행하였다. 또한 추적 성공률을 향상시키기 위해 예외처리 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 다양한 환경에서 실험한 결과 제안한 시스템은 처리 시간이 짧고 정확하게 다중 객체를 추적할 수 있어 실시간 수질 감시 시스템에 사용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the area classification, identification, and tracking for multiple moving objects with the similar colors. To do this, first, we use the GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model)-based background modeling method to detect the moving objects. Second, we propose the use of the binary and morphology of image in order to eliminate the shadow and noise in case of detection of the moving object. Third, we recognize ROI(region of interest) of the moving object through labeling method. And, we propose the area classification method to remove the background from the detected moving objects and the novel method for identifying the classified moving area. Also, we propose the method for tracking the identified moving object using Kalman filter. To the end, we propose the effective tracking method when detecting the multiple objects with the similar colors. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed algorithms through some experiments.

객체 윤곽을 추출하는 대부분의 기존 방법들은 단일객체의 윤곽검출에 대해 연구하였다. 그러나, 실 세계에서는 복수객체가 일반적이다. 본 논문에서 제안한 복수객체 윤곽추출 알고리즘은 2 단계로 구성된다. 첫 번째 단계는 외적 및 내적을 사용하여 초기에 복수객체를 포함한 윤곽을 고속으로 분리하고 연결하여 각각이 윤곽이 단일 개체만을 포함하는 방법을 제안한다. 두 번째 단계는 각각의 윤곽에 포함된 단일 객체의 윤곽을 추출하는 개선된 능동윤곽모델 알고리즘을 설명한다. 여러 실험영상에 대한 실험결과는 다른 방법과 비교하여 속도가 빠르며 정확하게 윤곽을 추출한다.

This paper proposes the multiple objects focusing algorithm. Given multiple objects at different distances from a camera, we assume that one object is well-focused and the others are out-of-focused. The proposed auto-focusing algorithm is summarized as follows: (i) detects edges from an input image, (ⅱ) estimates the radius of PSF (Point Spread Function) across the edge, (ⅲ) gather edge points having same radius of PSF, (ⅳ) segments the image into regions with the same radius of PSF, and (ⅴ) restores the each segmented region using the corresponding PSF.

In multiple object tracking, accurate detection for each of objects that appear sequentially and effective tracking in complicated cases that they are overlapped with each other are very important. In this paper, we propose a multiple object tracking system that has a concrete detection and tracking characteristics by using multi-lateral histogram and SIFT feature extraction algorithm. Especially, by limiting the matching area to object's inside and by utilizing the location informations in the keypoint matching process of SIFT algorithm, we advanced the tracking performance for multiple objects. Based on the experimental results, we found that the proposed tracking system has a robust tracking operation in the complicated environments that multiple objects are frequently overlapped in various of directions.
