In this paper, we propose a real-time people tracking system with multiple CCD cameras for security inside the building. To achieve this goal, we present a method for 3D walking human tracking based on the IMPRESARIO framework incorporating cascaded classifiers into hypothesis evaluation. The efficiency of adaptive selection of cascaded classifiers has been also presented. The camera is mounted from the ceiling of the laboratory so that the image data of the passing people are fully overlapped. The implemented system recognizes people movement along various directions. To track people even when their images are partially overlapped, the proposed system estimates and tracks a bounding box enclosing each person in the tracking region. The approximated convex hull of each individual in the tracking area is obtained to provide more accurate tracking information. We have shown the improvement of reliability for likelihood calculation by using cascaded classifiers. Experimental results show that the proposed method can smoothly and effectively detect and track walking humans through environments such as dense forests.

본 논문은 연속적으로 입력되는 비디오 영상에서 효과적인 얼굴 검출기와 칼만 필터를 이용하여 강인하게 얼굴을 추적하는 시스템을 제안한다. 효과적인 얼굴 검출기를 구성하기 위해 간단한 다섯 가지 타입의 Haar-like 특징값들을 이용하여 얼굴 특징을 추출한다. 추출된 특징값들은 PCA(Principal Component Analysis)를 이용하여 재해석되고, 해석된 주성분들을 SVM(Support Vector Machine)의 입력 값으로 사용하여 얼굴과 배경으로 분류한다. 검출된 얼굴의 정적정보와 프레임간 변화량을 이용한 동적정보를 칼만 필터(Kalman Filter)에 적용하여 얼굴을 추적한다. 실시간에 적용 가능한 시스템을 구현하기 위하여 얼굴 검출회수를 조정하여 처리속도를 향상시켰다. 실험결과, 평균 93.3%의 추적 성공률과 초당 15 프레임 처리 성능으로 강인한 실시간 얼굴 추적이 가능함을 보여주었다.

나로호 발사임무에서 추적장비에서 취득된 실시간 정보는 발사통제시스템의 처리를 거쳐서 비행안전 및 비행상태 감시 관련 운용자에 공급되어진다. 또한, 처리된 발사체의 위치정보는 각 추적 장비들의 추적 실패 시 재추적 시도를 위한 추적연동정보로 공급됨과 동시에 비행안전 감시의 목적으로 사용되어진다. 본 논문에서는 추적임무 수행에 가장 중요한 역할을 수행하는 추적연동정보 처리기능의 설계를 제안하였다. 가용한 모든 발사체 위치정보를 수집, 처리후 최적 위치정보를 선정하고 처리 과정에서 발생된 시간 지연 성분을 보상하여 각 추적시스템으로 분배한다. 추적연동정보의 처리의 정확성을 위하여 표준시각에서 추출한 25 ms 주기의 타임틱 신호를 기준으로 모든 처리 모듈의 동작이 동기화 된다. 제안한 방법의 정확도를 검증하기 위하여 레이더를 통해 수신한 위치정보와의 비교를 수행하였으며 그 오차는 평균 0.01도 이하로 나타났다.

Wireless wearable sensor networks have emerged as a promising technique for human motion tracking due to the flexibility and scalability. In such system several wireless sensor nodes being attached to human limb construct a wearable sensor network, where each sensor node including MEMS sensors (such as 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and 3-axis gyroscope) monitors the limb orientation and transmits these information to the base station for reconstruction via low-power wireless communication technique. Due to the energy constraint, the high fidelity requirement for real time rendering of human motion and tiny operating system embedded in each sensor node adds more challenges for the system implementation. In this paper, we discuss such challenges and experiences in detail during the implementation of such system with wireless wearable sensor network which includes COTS wireless sensor nodes (Imote 2) and uses TinyOS 1.x in each sensor node. Since our system uses the COTS sensor nodes and popular tiny operating system, it might be helpful for further exploration in such field.

본 논문에서는 적외선 센서와 초음파 센서를 동시에 사용하여 이동하는 표적의 위치를 실시간으로 추적하는 위치추적 시스템을 설계하였다. 위치 추적 시스템은 2 개의 적외선 센서를 이용하여 표적이 감시영역에 침입하는 것을 확인하고, 4 개의 초음파 센서를 이용해서 각 센서에서 표적까지의 거리를 탐지하여 이동하는 표적의 위치좌표 (x,y)를 구하였다. 특히 초음파 센서가 가지고 있는 안테나의 빔폭 특성 때문에 4 개 센서 중 2개 센서에만 표적이 탐지될 경우에도 표적의 위치를 정확하게 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 개발된 알고리즘을 설계된 시스템에 장착하여 시험한 결과 감시시스템이 실험실 내에서 실시간 정확하게 구동하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper describes detection and tracking of a moving object for unmanned visual surveillance. security systems. Using images obtained from camera it detects and tracks a moving object and displays bounding box enclosing the moving object. The algorithm for detection and tracking is tested using a personal computer, and then implemented on EMPOS II embedded system. Simulation results show that the tracking of a moving object based on embedded system is working well. However it needs to improve image acquisition time for real time implementation to apply security systems.

This paper presents an adaptive active tracking system with sector based scanning for a single PTZ camera. Dividing sectors on an image reduces the search space to shorten selection time so that the system can cover many targets. Upon the selection of a target, the system estimates the target trajectory to predict the zooming location with a finite amount of time for camera movement. Advanced estimation techniques using probabilistic reason suffer from the unknown object dynamics and the inaccurate estimation compromises the zooming level to prevent tracking failure. The proposed system uses the simple piecewise estimation with a few frames to cope with fast moving objects and/or slow camera movements. The target is tracked in multiple steps and the zooming time for each step is determined by maximizing the zooming level within the expected variation of object velocity and detection. The number of zooming steps is adaptively determined according to target speed. In addition, the iterative estimation of a zooming location with camera movement time compensates for the target prediction error due to the difference between speeds of a target and a camera. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by simulations and real time experiments.

With the proliferation of smart devices, applications under ubiquitous environment must provide transparent access to computer resources. However, existing u-Logistics systems can not properly react on such requirements, because the status information of objects is input only in fixed milestones by system's operators. In this paper, we introduce an event notification service suitable for u-Logistics environment. The system is based on RFID infrastructure and provides real-time tracking by combining the event of objects with location information received from GPS satellites. The system also provides a graphical user interface based on a state/transition approach, making it easy that clients facilitate definition of profile, and uses XML structure to more easily represent and exchange events.

This paper addresses a novel approach to performance enhancement of the naval gun fire control system(FCS) by using the projectile tracking filter without any distortion of radar measurements. Under the assumption that the maneuvering between the projectile and the ship equipped with the radar is not quite large, this method is based on the concept of polar-coordinate target tracking, which separates the range estimation filter and the direction cosine estimation filter. Note that using polar-coordinates allows tracking to be performed in the same coordinate system from which the radar line-of-sight(LOS) measurements are obtained, unlike the conventional tracking process in Cartesian. Also, it is easy to implement in real-time and guarantees consistent estimates due to its linear filter structure. With the help of the above method, therefore, the proposed filter is able to improve the overall performance of FCS which requires stability of projectile estimates within a short engagement time. The effectiveness of the presented scheme is validated through computer simulations.
