Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the fields of video surveillance and mobile object tracking. This paper proposes a mobile object tracking algorithm. First, several parameters such as object window, object area, and expansion-contraction (E-C) parameter are defined. Then, a modified E-C algorithm for multiple-object tracking is presented. The proposed algorithm tracks moving objects by expansion and contraction of the object window. In addition, it includes methods for updating the background image and avoiding occlusion of the target image. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified experimentally. For example, the first scenario traces the path of two people walking in opposite directions in a hallway, whereas the second one is conducted to track three people in a group of four walkers.

Semantic video object extraction is important for tracking meaningful objects in video and object-based video coding. We propose a fast semiautomatic video object extraction algorithm which combines a watershed segmentation schemes and chamfer distance transform. Initial object boundaries in the first frame are defined by a human before the tracking, and fast video object tracking can be achieved by tracking only motion-detected regions in a video frame. Experimental results shows that the boundaries of tracking video object arc close to real video object boundaries and the proposed algorithm is promising in terms of speed.

In this paper, we present tracking algorithm for the indoor moving object. We research passive method using a camera and image processing. It had been researched to use dynamic based estimators, such as Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter and Particle Filter for tracking moving object. These algorithm have a good performance on real-time tracking, but they have a limit. If the shape of object is changed or object is located on complex background, they will fail to track them. This problem will need the complicated image processing algorithm. Finally, a large algorithm is made from integration of dynamic based estimator and image processing algorithm. For eliminating this inefficiency problem, image based estimator, Mean-shift Algorithm is suggested. This algorithm is implemented by color histogram. In other words, it decide coordinate of object's center from using probability density of histogram in image. Although shape is changed, this is not disturbed by complex background and can track object. This paper shows the results in real camera system, and decides 3D coordinate using the data from mean-shift algorithm and relationship of real frame and camera frame.

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.

This paper introduces robust tracking algorithm for fast and erratic moving object. CAMSHIFT algorithm has less computation and efficient performance for object tracking. However, the method fails to track a object if it moves out of search window by fast velocity and/or large movement. The size of the search window in CAMSHIFT algorithm should be selected manually also. To solve these problems, we propose an efficient prediction technique for fast movement of object using Kalman Filter with automatic initial setting and variable configuration technique for search window. The proposed method is compared to the traditional CAMSHIFT algorithm for searching and tracking performance of objects on test image frames.

본 논문에서는 컬러 히스토그램과 CNN 모델을 이용한 객체 추적 기법 알고리즘을 제안한다. CNN (convolutional neural network) 모델기반 객체 추적 알고리즘인 GOTURN (generic object tracking using regression network)의 정확도를 높이기 위해 컬러 히스토그램 기반 mean-shift 추적 알고리즘을 합성하였다. 두 알고리즘을 SVM (support vector machine)을 통해 분류하여 추적 정확도가 더 높은 알고리즘을 선택하도록 설계하였다. Mean-shift 추적 알고리즘은 객체 추적에 실패할 때 경계 박스가 큰 범위로 움직이는 경향이 있어 경계 박스의 이동거리에 제한을 두어 정확도를 향상시켰다. 또한 영상 평균 밝기, 히스토그램 유사도를 고려하여 두 알고리즘의 추적 시작 위치를 초기화하여 성능을 높였다. 결과적으로 기존 GOTURN 알고리즘보다 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘이 전체적으로 정확도가 1.6% 향상되었다.

기존의 색상 기반의 Mean Shift 알고리즘을 이용한 객체추적 알고리즘은 초기 색상 정보가 사라질 경우 정확한 객체추적을 수행할 수 없다. 본 논문은 객체의 색상이 변할 때 색상 정보를 변경하여 정확히 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 현재의 위치를 중심으로 다음 객체 위치에 해당하는 밀도가 가장 높은 위치를 Mean Shift알고리즘으로 구하고, 바꿔 색상 정보를 변경하는 반복적인 기법을 사용한다. 이를 통해 처음 설정한 객체의 색상이 바뀌거나 사라지더라도 정확한 객체추적을 할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 제안 알고리즘을 구현하고, 실험 결과로 성능을 입증한다.

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.

This paper describes realtime visual tracking system of moving object for three dimensional target using EKF(Extended Kalman Filter). We present a new realtime visual tracking using EKF algorithm and image prediction algorithm. We demonstrate the performance of these tracking algorithm through real experiment. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the EKF algorithm and image prediction algorithm for realtime tracking and estimated state value of filter, predicting the position of moving object to minimize an image processing area, and by reducing the effect by quantization noise of image.
