영상 감시 시스템에서 특정 물체를 추적하기 위해서는 물체에 대한 영상정보를 빠른 시간 내에 정확하게 인식하고 추적하는 방법이 매우 중요하다. 단일 카메라를 이용해서 객체의 추적을 하게 될 경우 가려짐과 같은 문제로 인해 객체 추적의 한계가 존재하게 되고, 복수 카메라를 사용하는 경우 연속적으로 배치된 카메라를 통해 객체를 추적하게 된다. 그러나 객체추적이 완벽하게 이루어지지 않아 추적하고 있는 객체를 놓치는 경우가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 다수의 카메라를 관심영역 내에 설치해서 동시에 동일한 물체를 여러 각도에서 관찰하는 멀티 영상감시시스템과 같은 방법을 고려해야 한다. 물체 추적에 다수의 카메라를 이용할 경우 정보 취득이 용이하고, 보다 넓은 범위의 공간에서 정확도가 높은 판단을 내리는 것이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 도로 교차로에 다수의 카메라를 사용할 경우 공간투영기법인 호모그래피를 적용하여 자동차와 같은 동일한 물체를 인식하고 추적하기 위한 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

최근 딥러닝 모델을 기반으로 한 객체 추적 알고리즘의 활용도가 증가하고 있다. 영상에서의 다중 객체의 추적을 위한 시스템은 대표적으로 객체 검출 알고리즘과 객체 추적 알고리즘의 연쇄된 형태로 구성되어있다. 하지만 여러 모듈로 구성된 연쇄 형태의 시스템은 고성능 컴퓨팅 환경을 요구하며 실제 어플리케이션으로의 적용에 제한사항으로 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 위와 같은 객체 검출-추적의 연쇄 형태의 시스템에서 객체 검출 모듈의 연산 관련 프로세스를 조정하여 저성능 컴퓨팅 환경에서도 실시간 동작을 가능하게 하는 방법을 제안한다.

This paper proposes an object tracking system according to reliability assessment of learning in mobile environments. The proposed system is based on markerless tracking, and there are four modules which are recognition, tracking, detecting and learning module. Recognition module detects and identifies an object to be matched on current frame correspond to the database using LSH through SURF, and then this module generates a standard object information that has the best reliability of learning. The standard object information is used for evaluating and learning the object that is successful tracking in tracking module. Detecting module finds out the object based on having the best possible knowledge available among the learned objects information, when the system fails to track. The experimental results show that the proposed system is able to recognize and track the reliable objects with reliability assessment of learning for the use of mobile platform.

This research is a case study of underwater object tracking based on real-time recurrent regression networks (Re³). Re³ has the concept of generic object tracking. Because of these characteristics, it is very effective to apply this model to unclear underwater sonar images. The model also an pursues object tracking method, thus it solves the problem of calculating load that may be limited when object detection models are used, unlike the tracking models. The model is also highly intuitive, so it has excellent continuity of tracking even if the object being tracked temporarily becomes partially occluded or faded. There are 4 types of the dataset using multi-beam sonar images: including (a) dummy object floated at the testbed; (b) dummy object settled at the bottom of the sea; (c) tire object settled at the bottom of the testbed; (d) multi-objects settled at the bottom of the testbed. For this study, the experiments were conducted to obtain underwater sonar images from the sea and underwater testbed, and the validity of using noisy underwater sonar images was tested to be able to track objects robustly.

Robots will be able to coexist with humans and support humans effectively in near future. One of the most important aspects in the development of human-friendly robots is to cooperation between humans and robots. In this paper, we proposed a method for multi-object identification in order to achieve such human-centered system and robot localization in intelligent space. The intelligent space is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. The Intelligent Space achieves the human centered services by accelerating the physical and psychological interaction between humans and intelligent devices. As an intelligent device of the Intelligent Space, a color CCD camera module, which includes processing and networking part, has been chosen. The Intelligent Space requires functions of identifying and tracking the multiple objects to realize appropriate services to users under the multi-camera environments. In order to achieve seamless tracking and location estimation many camera modules are distributed. They causes some errors about object identification among different camera modules. This paper describes appearance based object representation for the distributed vision system in Intelligent Space to achieve consistent labeling of all objects. Then, we discuss how to learn the object color appearance model and how to achieve the multi-object tracking under occlusions.

본 논문에서는 다시점 카메라 환경에서 비디오 압축 도메인의 이동체 검출 및 추적 방법을 제안한다. 비디오 압축 비트열로부터 추출된 움직임 벡터와 블록 모드를 기반으로 이동블록 검증 및 라벨링, 이웃 blob 결합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 단일시점 및 다시점 환경에서 이동체의 일시 정지, 교차, 겹침시에도 지속적인 추적이 가능한 일정 시간 구간내 이동체 정보 갱신 기법을 제안한다. 기준 카메라 화면에 나타나지 않는 이동체는 다른 카메라 화면의 이동체 위치로부터 기준 카메라 화면상 좌표로 변환하여 참조하였다. 제안 기법의 성능은 부호기의 움직임 벡터 정밀도에 의존적인데, 두 대의 카메라 환경에서 H.264 JM15.1 압축 비트열로부터 복호화 없이 평균 89%와 84%의 검출률과 추적률을 보였다. 또한, 물체의 일시 정지, 교차, 겹침시에도 지속적인 이동체 검출 및 추적이 가능하며, 단일시점 환경에 비해 다시점 환경에서 평균 6%의 검출률과 7%의 추적률 개선을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a novel multi-object tracking method to track an unknown number of objects is proposed. To handle multiple object states and uncertain observations efficiently, a probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter is adopted and modified. The PHD filter is capable of reducing false positives, managing object appearances and disappearances, and estimating the multiple object trajectories in a unified framework. Although the PHD filter is robust in cluttered environments, it is vulnerable to false negatives. For this reason, we propose to exploit local observations in an RFS of the observation model. Each local observation is generated by using an online trained object detector. The main purpose of the local observation is to deal with false negatives in the PHD filtering procedure. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method robustly tracked multiple objects under practical situations.

본 논문에서는 배경 차분에 의해 객체를 검출하고 확률적으로 표본화된 입자 필터링(particle filtering)기법을 사용한 다중객체 추적 기법을 제안한다. 확률적으로 표본화된 입자들을 사용하여 다중 객체에 독립적으로 적용할 때 발생하는 계산 복잡도(computational complexity)를 감소시키는 동시에 안정적인 추적을 가능하게 하였다. 객체의 색상정보를 사용한 히스토그램 분포에 의한 관측 모델(observation model)을 구성하고 객체의 움직임 정보를 위해 동적 모델을 공식화하여 영상을 해석하였다. 전체적인 추적 시스템은 베이시언 최대 우도 기법(Bayesian maximum likelihood method)을 근간으로 하되, 입자 필터링을 객체 추적에 적용하여 실용적인 현실 객체 추적 상황에도 강건하게 대처할 수 있음을 실험을 통해서 증명하였다.

The camera based object detection systems should satisfy the recognition performance as well as real-time constraints. Particularly, in safety-critical systems such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), the real-time constraints significantly affects the system performance. Recently, multi-core processors and system-on-chip technologies are widely used to accelerate the object detection algorithm by distributing computational loads. However, due to the advanced hardware, the complexity of system architecture is increased even though additional hardwares improve the real-time performance. The increased complexity also cause difficulty in migration of existing algorithms and development of new algorithms. In this paper, to improve real-time performance and design complexity, a task scheduling strategy is proposed for visual object tracking systems. The real-time performance of the vision algorithm is increased by applying pipelining to task scheduling in a multi-core processor. Finally, the proposed task scheduling algorithm is applied to crosswalk detection and tracking system to prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Person re-identification is to match pedestrians observed from non-overlapping camera views. It has important applications in video surveillance such as person retrieval, person tracking, and activity analysis. However, it is a very challenging problem due to illumination, pose and viewpoint variations between non-overlapping camera views. In this work, we propose a viewpoint invariant method for matching pedestrian images using orientation of pedestrian. First, the proposed method divides a pedestrian image into patches and assigns angle to a patch using the orientation of the pedestrian under the assumption that a person body has the cylindrical shape. The difference between angles are then used to compute the similarity between patches. We applied the proposed method to real-time global multi-object tracking across multiple disjoint cameras with non-overlapping field of views. Re-identification algorithm makes global trajectories by connecting local trajectories obtained by different local trackers. The effectiveness of the viewpoint invariant method for person re-identification was validated on the VIPeR dataset. In addition, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach for the inter-camera multiple object tracking on the MCT dataset with ground truth data for local tracking.
