Background: Inspection of livestock farms using surveillance cameras is emerging as a means of early detection of transboundary animal disease such as African swine fever (ASF). Object tracking, a developing technology derived from object detection aims to the consistent identification of individual objects in farms. Objectives: This study was conducted as a preliminary investigation for practical application to livestock farms. With the use of a high-performance artificial intelligence (AI)-based 3D depth camera, the aim is to establish a pathway for utilizing AI models to perform advanced object tracking. Methods: Multiple crossovers by two humans will be simulated to investigate the potential of object tracking. Inspection of consistent identification will be the evidence of object tracking after crossing over. Two AI models, a fast model and an accurate model, were tested and compared with regard to their object tracking performance in 3D. Finally, the recording of pig pen was also processed with aforementioned AI model to test the possibility of 3D object detection. Results: Both AI successfully processed and provided a 3D bounding box, identification number, and distance away from camera for each individual human. The accurate detection model had better evidence than the fast detection model on 3D object tracking and showed the potential application onto pigs as a livestock. Conclusions: Preparing a custom dataset to train AI models in an appropriate farm is required for proper 3D object detection to operate object tracking for pigs at an ideal level. This will allow the farm to smoothly transit traditional methods to ASF-preventing precision livestock farming.

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.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method that is tracking an object in real time using particle filter and adaptive observation model. When tracking object, it happens object shape variation by camera or object movement in variety environments. The traditional method has an error of tracking from these variation, because it has fixed observation model about the selected object by the user in the initial frame. In order to overcome these problems, we propose a method that updates the observation model by calculating the similarity between the used observation model and the eight-way of edge model from the current position. If the similarity is higher than the threshold value, tracking the object using updated observation model to reset observation model. On the contrary to this, the algorithm which consists of a process is to maintain the used observation model. Finally, this paper demonstrates the performance of the stable tracking through comparison with the traditional method by using a number of experimental data.

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 paper presents an object tracking with radical change of color. Conventional Mean Shift do not provide appropriate result when major color distribution disappear. Our tracking approach is based on Mean Shift as basic tracking method. However we propose tracking algorithm that shows good results for an object of radical variation. The key idea is iterative update previous color information of an object that shows different color by using EM algorithm. As experiment results, we show that our proposed algorithm is an effective approach in tracking for a real object include an object having radical change of color.

Object tracking is a common task in computer vision, an essential part of various vision-based applications. After several years of development, object tracking in video is still a challenging problem because of various visual properties of objects and surrounding environment. Particle filter is a well-known technique among common approaches, has been proven its effectiveness in dealing with difficulties in object tracking. However, particle filter is a high-complexity algorithms, which is an severe disadvantage because object tracking algorithms are required to run in real time. In this research, we utilize parallel programming to accelerate particle filter-based object tracking algorithms. Experimental results showed that our approach reduced the execution time significantly.

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.

An advanced visual tracking and stable grasping algorithm for a moving object is proposed. The stable grasping points for a moving 2D polygonal object are obtained through the visual tracking system with the Kalman filter and image prediction technique. The accuracy and efficiency are improved more than any other prediction algorithms for the tracking of an object. In the processing of a visual tracking. the shape predictors construct the parameterized family and grasp planner find the grasping points of unknown object through the geometric properties of the parameterized family. This algorithm conducts a process of ‘stable grasping and real time tracking’.

This study proposes technology using Active Shape Model to track the object separating it by depth-sensors. Unlike the common visual camera, the depth-sensor is not affected by the intensity of illumination, and therefore a more robust object can be extracted. The proposed algorithm removes the horizontal component from the information of the initial depth map and separates the object using the vertical component. In addition, it is also a more efficient morphology, and labeling to perform image correction and object extraction. By applying Active Shape Model to the information of an extracted object, it can track the object more robustly. Active Shape Model has a robust feature-to-object occlusion phenomenon. In comparison to visual camera-based object tracking algorithms, the proposed technology, using the existing depth of the sensor, is more efficient and robust at object tracking. Experimental results, show that the proposed ASM-based algorithm using depth sensor can robustly track objects in real-time.

본 논문은 서베일런스 네트워크에서 영상의 색상 정보를 이용한 객체 추적 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 적응적인 색상 모델을 이용한 객체 검출을 수행한다. 객체 윤곽선 검출은 객체 인식과 같은 응용에서 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 실험 결과는 색상과 크기에서 객체의 다양한 변화가 있을 때에도 성공적인 객체 검출을 증명한다. 실시간으로 객체를 검출하는 응용 분야에서 대량의 영상 데이터를 전송할 때 색상 분포의 형태를 찾아내는 것이 가능하다. 객체의 특정 색상 정보는 입력 영상에서 동적으로 변화하는 색상에서 자주 수정되어진다. 그래서, 이 알고리즘은 해당 추적 영역 안에서 객체의 추적 영역 정보를 탐지하고 그 객체의 움직임만을 추적한다. 실험을 통해, 본 논문은 어떤 이상적인 상황하에서 제안하는 객체 추적 알고리즘이 다른 방법보다 더 강인한 면이 있다는 것을 보여준다.
