This paper proposes a minimal contour tracking algorithm that reduces transmission of data for tracking mobile objects in surveillance networks in terms of detection and communication load. This algorithm perform detection for object tracking and when it transmit image data to server from camera, it minimized communication load by reducing quantity of transmission data. This algorithm use minimal tracking area based on the kinematics of the object. The modeling of object's kinematics allows for pruning out part of the tracking area that cannot be mechanically visited by the mobile object within scheduled time. In applications to detect an object in real time,when transmitting a large amount of image data it is possible to reduce the transmission load.

Motion tracking and object segmentation are the most fundamental and critical problems in vision tasks such as motion analysis. An active contour model, snake, was developed as a useful segmenting and tracking tool for rigid or non-rigid objects. In this paper, the development of new snake model called 'adaptive color snake model (ACSM)' for segmentation and tracking is introduced. The simple operation makes the algorithm runs in real-time. For robust tracking, the condensation algorithm was adopted to control the parameters of ACSM. The effectiveness of the ACSM is verified by appropriate simulations and experiments.

Almost vision application systems use 2-D information by taking only one camera. Recently it arises to utilize 3-D information, which is distance from camera to object, because 2-D information is not sufficient. Therefore, we take stereo camera system. In motion detection algorithm using stereo vision, it operates like one camera system, which takes advantage of correlation, edge, and difference algorithm, when it detects any motion. At that time, to detect motion, it compares two images, which is from two cameras, to calculate disparity that contains distance information. By disparity, it can compute real distance and size of object information. We describe a motion detection algorithm which computes 3-D distance and object size in real time.

Grey-level statistical models have been widely used in many applications for object location and identification. However, conventional models yield some problems in model refinement when training images are not properly aligned, and have difficulties for real-time recognition of arbitrarily rotated models. This paper presents improved grey-level statistical models that align training images using image or feature matching to overcome problems in model refinement of conventional models, and that enable real-time recognition of arbitrarily rotated objects using efficient hierarchical search methods. Edges or features extracted from a mean training image are used for accurate alignment of models in the search image. On the aligned position and orientation, fitness measure based on grey-level statistical models is computed for object recognition. It is demonstrated in various experiments in PCB inspection that proposed methods are superior to conventional methods in recognition accuracy and speed.

In this paper we propose a feature point tracking algorithm using optical flow under non-prior taming active feature model (NPT-AFM). The proposed algorithm mainly focuses on analysis non-rigid objects[1], and provides real-time, robust tracking by NPT-AFM. NPT-AFM algorithm can be divided into two steps: (i) localization of an object-of-interest and (ii) prediction and correction of the object position by utilizing the inter-frame information. The localization step was realized by using a modified Shi-Tomasi's feature tracking algoriam[2] after motion-based segmentation. In the prediction-correction step, given feature points are continuously tracked by using optical flow method[3] and if a feature point cannot be properly tracked, temporal and spatial prediction schemes can be employed for that point until it becomes uncovered again. Feature points inside an object are estimated instead of its shape boundary, and are updated an element of the training set for AFH Experimental results, show that the proposed NPT-AFM-based algerian can robustly track non-rigid objects in real-time.

Object detection and tracking have become one of the most active research areas in the past few years, and play an important role in computer vision applications over our daily life. Many tracking techniques are proposed, and Camshift is an effective algorithm for real time dynamic object tracking, which uses only color features, so that the algorithm is sensitive to illumination and some other environmental elements. This paper presents and implements an effective moving object detection and tracking to reduce the influence of illumination interference, which improve the performance of tracking under similar color background. The implemented prototype system recognizes object using invariant features, and reduces the dimension of feature descriptor to rectify the problems. The experimental result shows that that the system is superior to the existing methods in processing time, and maintains better problem ratios in various environments.

In this paper, a visual servoing control technique of humanoid robot arms is implemented for tracking a moving object. An embedded time-delayed controller is designed on an FPGA(Programmable field gate array) chip and implemented to control humanoid robot arms. The position of the moving object is detected by a stereo vision camera and converted to joint commands through the inverse kinematics. Then the robot arm performs visual servoing control to track a moving object in real time fashion. Experimental studies are conducted and results demonstrate the feasibility of the visual feedback control method for a moving object tracking task by the humanoid robot arms called the ROBOKER.

With the development of the industry, the use of drones in specific mission flight is being actively studied. These drones fly a specified path and perform repetitive tasks. if the drone system will detect objects in real time, the performance of these mission flight will increase. In this paper, we implement object detection system and mount GPU acceleration to maximize the efficiency of limited device resources with drone video using Tensorflow Lite which enables in-device inference from a mobile device and Mobile SDK of DJI, a drone manufacture. For performance comparison, the average processing time per frame was measured when object detection was performed using only the CPU and when object detection was performed using the CPU and GPU at the same time.

Moving object detection is to detect foreground object different from background scene in a new incoming image frame and is an essential ingredient process in some image processing applications such as intelligent visual surveillance, HCI, object-based video compression and etc. Most of previous object detection algorithms are still computationally heavy so that it is difficult to develop real-time multi-channel moving object detection in a workstation or even one-channel real-time moving object detection in an embedded system using them. Foreground mask correction necessary for a more precise object detection is usually accomplished using morphological operations like opening and closing. Morphological operations are not computationally cheap and moreover, they are difficult to be rendered to run simultaneously with the subsequent connected component labeling routine since they need quite different type of processing from what the connected component labeling does. In this paper, we first devise a fast and precise foreground mask correction algorithm, "Neighbor Foreground Pixel Propagation (NFPP)" which utilizes neighbor pixel checking employed in the connected component labeling. Next, we propose a novel moving object detection method based on the devised foreground mask correction algorithm, NFPP where the connected component labeling routine can be executed simultaneously with the foreground mask correction. Through experiments, it is verified that the proposed moving object detection method shows more precise object detection and more than 4 times faster processing speed for a image frame and videos in the given the experiments than the previous moving object detection method using morphological operations.
