In this paper, we propose a low-complexity feature detection algorithm for object tracking and present hardware architecture design and implementation results for real-time processing. The existing Shi-Tomasi algorithm shows good performance in object tracking applications, but has a high computational complexity. Therefore, we propose an efficient feature detection algorithm, which can reduce the operational complexity with the similar performance to Shi-Tomasi algorithm, and present its real-time implementation results. The proposed feature detector was implemented with 1,307 logic slices, 5 DSP 48s and 86.91Kbits memory with FPGA. In addition, it can support the real-time processing of 54fps at an operating frequency of 114MHz for $1920{\times}1080FHD$ images.

This study proposes a method of feature point extraction using scale-space filtering and a feature point tracking algorithm based on a texturedness similarity comparison, With well-defined operators one can select a scale parameter for feature point extraction; this affects the selection and localization of the feature points and also the performance of the tracking algorithm. This study suggests a feature extraction method using scale-space filtering, With a change in the camera's point of view or movement of an object in sequential images, the window of a feature point will have an affine transform. Traditionally, it is difficult to measure the similarity between correspondence points, and tracking errors often occur. This study also suggests a tracking algorithm that expands Shi-Tomasi-Kanade's tracking algorithm with texturedness similarity.

In this study, feature point detection and displacement measurement performance depending on feature extraction algorithms were compared and analyzed according to environmental changes and target types in the feature point-based displacement measurement algorithm. A three-story frame structure was designed for performance evaluation, and the displacement response of the structure was digitized into FHD (1920×1080) resolution. For performance analysis, the initial measurement distance was set to 10m, and increased up to 40m with an increment of 10m. During the experiments, illuminance was fixed to 450lux or 120lux. The artificial and natural targets mounted on the structure were set as regions of interest and used for feature point detection. Various feature detection algorithms were implemented for performance comparisons. As a result of the feature point detection performance analysis, the Shi-Tomasi corner and KAZE algorithm were found that they were robust to the target type, illuminance change, and increase in measurement distance. The displacement measurement accuracy using those two algorithms was also the highest. However, when using natural targets, the displacement measurement accuracy is lower than that of artificial targets. This indicated the limitation in extracting feature points as the resolution of the natural target decreased as the measurement distance increased.

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.

본 논문에서는 손 모션에 대하여 피부색 검출을 기반으로 전역적인 모션을 추적하고 모션 벡터를 생성하여 제스처를 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 추적을 위하여 Shi-Tomasi 특징점 검출 방법과 Lucas-Kanade 옵티컬 플로우 추정 방법을 사용한다. 손 모션을 추적하는 경우 손의 모양이 다양하게 변화하므로 초기에 검출된 특징점을 계속적으로 추적하는 일반적인 방법으로는 손의 모션을 제대로 추적할 수 없다. 이에 본 논문에서는 프레임마다 새로운 특징점을 검출한 후 옵티컬 플로우를 추정하고 이상치(outlier)를 제거하여 손 모양의 변화에도 추적을 통한 모션 벡터 생성이 가능하도록 한다. 모션 벡터들로 인공 신경망을 사용한 판별 과정을 수행하여 최종적으로 손 모션 제스처에 대한 인식이 가능하도록 한다.

In general, feature detection and tracking algorithms is classified by EBGM using Garbor-jet, NNC-R and STK algorithm using pixel eigenvalue. In those algorithms, EBGM and NCC-R detect features with feature model, but STK algorithm has a characteristics of an automatic feature selection. In this paper, to solve the initial problem of NR tracking in STK algorithm, we detected features using STK algorithm in modelled feature region and tracked features with NR method. In tracking, to improve the tracking accuracy for features by NR method, we proposed BMA-NR method. We evaluated that BMA-NR method was superior to NBMA-NR in that feature tracking accuracy, since BMA-NR method was able to solve the local minimum problem due to search window size of NR.
