본 논문에서는 동영상에서 특징점의 궤적을 추적하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 방법에서 사용된 대부분의 정합의 척도(matching measure)는 동영상의 움직임 특성을 정확히 반영하지 못하여 잘못된 궤적을 나타내는 경우가 있다. 본 논문에서는 특징범의 공간좌표, 이동방향과 이동거리 등 3가지 속성을 정합에 사용하는데 이들 속성에 대하여 가중치(weight)가 부여된 Euclidean 거리를 정합의 척도로 사용한다. 이때 3가지 속성에 대한 가중치를 움직임의 특성에 따라 적응적으로 변화시켜 줌으로써 강건하게 특징점을 추적할 수 있도록 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 매 프레임마다 특징점의 운동특성을 정확히 반영함으로써 기존의 방법에 비해 정확한 궤적을 찾을 수 있으며 이는 다양한 동영상에 대한 실험을 통해 확인되었다.

Robust tracking of infrared (IR) pedestrian targets with various backgrounds, e.g. appearance changes, illumination variations, and background disturbances, is a great challenge in the infrared image processing field. In the paper, we address a new tracking method for IR pedestrian targets via multi-feature local sparse representation (SR), which consists of three important modules. In the first module, a multi-feature local SR model is constructed. Considering the characterization of infrared pedestrian targets, the gray and edge features are first extracted from all target templates, and then fused into the model learning process. In the second module, an effective tracker is proposed via the learned model. To improve the computational efficiency, a sliding window mechanism with multiple scales is first used to scan the current frame to sample the target candidates. Then, the candidates are recognized via sparse reconstruction residual analysis. In the third module, an adaptive dictionary update approach is designed to further improve the tracking performance. The results demonstrate that our method outperforms several classical methods for infrared pedestrian tracking.

Visual tracking of selected target objects is fundamental challenging problems in computer vision. Object tracking localize the region of target object with bounding box in the video. We propose a Siam-FPN based custom fully CNN to solve visual tracking problems by regressing the target area in an end-to-end manner. A method of preserving the feature information flow using a feature map connection structure was applied. In this way, information is preserved and emphasized across the network. To regress object region and to classify object, the region proposal network was connected with the Siamese network. The performance of the tracking algorithm was evaluated using the OTB-100 dataset. Success Plot and Precision Plot were used as evaluation matrix. As a result of the experiment, 0.621 in Success Plot and 0.838 in Precision Plot were achieved.

본 논문에서는 특징점 추적을 이용하여 끼어들기 위반차량을 검지할 수 있는 끼어들기 위반차량 검지 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 끼어들기 위반차량 검지 시스템의 전체적인 알고리즘은 특징 추출, 추적대상 차량의 특징점 등록 및 추적, 끼어들기 위반차량 검지 등의 세 단계로 구성된다. 특징 추출 단계에서는 실시간 처리가 가능한 특징점 추출 알고리즘을 이용하여 입력 영상에서 특징점을 추출한다. 추출된 특징점들은 다시 추적대상 특징점을 선정하고 등록된 특징점을 정규화 된 교차 상관관계(normalized cross correlation:NCC)를 이용하여 추적한다. 마지막으로 추적된 특징점들의 정보를 이용하여 끼어들기 위반여부를 최종 검지한다. 제안한 시스템을 끼어들기 금지구간에서 취득한 영상을 사용하여 실험한 결과 정인식률 99.09%와 오류율 0.9%의 뛰어난 성능을 보였고 실시간처리가 가능한 초당 34.48프레임의 빠른 처리속도를 얻을 수 있었다.

일반거인 피쳐검출 및 추적 알고리즘에는 Garbor-jet를 이용한 elastic bunch graph matching (EBGM), rotation normalized cross-correlation (NCC-R) 및 화소의 고유치를 이용한 Shi-Tomasi-Kanade(STK) 알고리즘 등이 있다. 이들 중에서 EBGM, NCC-R은 피쳐모델에 의해 피쳐를 검출하지만 STK 알고리즘은 피쳐를 자동적으로 검출하는 특징을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 STK알고리즘인 Newton-Raphson (NR) 추적의 초기화 문제를 해결하기 위해서 모델링된 피쳐영역에서 STK 알고리즘으로 피쳐를 검출한 후, NR 방법으로 피쳐를 추적할 때, NR 방법에 의한 피쳐추적의 정확성을 개선시키기 위해 block matching agorithm (BMA)-NR 방법을 제안하였다. NR 방법에 의한 피쳐변위수렴시 BMA-NR 방법이 NBMA-NR (no BMA-NR)방법보다 피쳐추적의 정확성이 향상되었는데, 이는 NR의 서치영역크기로 인한 국소 최소치(local minimum) 문제를 해결하였기 때문이다.

With the remarkable growth in rich media in recent years, people are increasingly exposed to visual information from the environment. Visual information continues to play a vital role in rich media because people's real interests lie in dynamic information. This paper proposes a novel discrete dynamic swarm optimization (DDSO) algorithm for video object tracking using invariant features. The proposed approach is designed to track objects more robustly than other traditional algorithms in terms of illumination changes, background noise, and occlusions. DDSO is integrated with a matching procedure to eliminate inappropriate feature points geographically. The proposed novel fitness function can aid in excluding the influence of some noisy mismatched feature points. The test results showed that our approach can overcome changes in illumination, background noise, and occlusions more effectively than other traditional methods, including color-tracking and invariant feature-tracking methods.

This paper presents a multiple target tracking system using target feature information. In the proposed system, the state of target is defined as its kinematic as well as feature : the kinematic includes a location and a velocity; the feature contains the image correlation between a prior target and a current measurement. The feature information is used for generating the validation matrix and association probability of joint probabilistic data association (JPDA) algorithm. Through the Kalman filter, the target kinematic is updated. Then the tracking information is cycled by the track management algorithm. The system has been evaluated using the images obtained from Electro-Optics/ InfraRed (EO/IR) sensor. It is verified that the proposed system can reduce the complexity burden of JPDA process and can enhance the track maintenance rate.

본 논문에서는 IR 영상추적을 위하여 가린 표적의 실제 중심을 예측하는 추적창 조절(target window adjustment) 기법을 제시한다. 대표적 분할 추적(patch tracking) 방식인 특징점 추적(feature point tracking)은 표적의 중심과 특징점을 coupling하여 가린 표적의 실제 중심을 예측할 수 있으나, 형상 정보가 적은 영상에서 표적의 ROI(Region of Interest)는 특징점의 분포만으로는 구할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 상관추적의 추적창 조절 기법과 특징점 추적의 coupling 기법을 결합하여 표적이 장애물에 가리는 경우에도 안정적인 추적창을 유지한다.

As technology related to digital imaging equipment is developed and generalized, digital imaging system is used for various purposes in fields of society. The object tracking technology from digital image data in real time is one of the core technologies required in various fields such as security system and robot system. Among the existing object tracking technologies, cam shift technology is a technique of tracking an object using color information of an object. Recently, digital image data using infrared camera functions are widely used due to various demands of digital image equipment. However, the existing cam shift method can not track objects in image data without color information. Our proposed tracking algorithm tracks the object by analyzing the color if valid color information exists in the digital image data, otherwise it generates the lightness feature information and tracks the object through it. The brightness feature information is generated from the ratio information of the width and the height of the area divided by the brightness. Experimental results shows that our tracking algorithm can track objects in real time not only in general image data including color information but also in image data captured by an infrared camera.

Pose estimation of the sensor is important issue in many applications such as robotics, navigation, tracking, and Augmented Reality. This paper proposes visual-inertial integration system appropriate for dynamically moving condition of the sensor. The orientation estimated from Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor is used to calculate the essential matrix based on the intrinsic parameters of the camera. Using the epipolar geometry, the outliers of the feature point matching are eliminated in the image sequences. The pose of the sensor can be obtained from the feature point matching. The use of IMU sensor can help initially eliminate erroneous point matches in the image of dynamic scene. After the outliers are removed from the feature points, these selected feature points matching relations are used to calculate the precise fundamental matrix. Finally, with the feature point matching relation, the pose of the sensor is estimated. The proposed procedure was implemented and tested, comparing with the existing methods. Experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the technique proposed in this paper.
