Recent some SoC FPGA Releases that integrate ARM processor and FPGA fabric show better performance compared to the ASIC SoC used in typical embedded image processing system. In this study, using the above advantages, we implement a SoC FPGA-based Real-Time Object Recognition and Tracking System. In our system, the video input and output, image preprocessing process, and background subtraction processing were implemented in FPGA logics. And the object recognition and tracking processes were implemented in ARM processor-based programs. Our system provides the processing performance of 5.3 fps for the SVGA video input. This is about 79 times faster processing power than software approach based on the Nios II Soft-core processor, and about 4 times faster than approach based the HPS processor. Consequently, if the object recognition and tracking system takes a design structure combined with the FPGA logic and HPS processor-based processes of recent SoC FPGA Releases, then the real-time processing is possible because the processing speed is improved than the system that be handled only by the software approach.

최근 컴퓨터 기술의 발전과 함께 임베디드 기기 또한 다양한 기능을 갖추기 시작했다. 본 연구에서는 최근 활발하게 진행되고 있는 영상센서를 사용한 임베디드 기기 등 자원이 적은 기기에서 효율적인 얼굴 추적 방식을 제안한다. 정확한 얼굴을 얻기 위하여 MB-LBP 특징을 사용한 얼굴 검출 방식을 사용했으며, 다음 영상에서 얼굴 객체 추적을 위하여 얼굴 검출시 얼굴 주변 영역(Region of Interest)을 지정하였다. 그리고 얼굴을 검출을 못하는 영상에서는 기존의 객체 추적 방식인 CAM-Shift를 사용해 객체를 추적해 객체 정보의 손실 없이 정보를 유지할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구는 기존 연구와의 비교를 통하여 객체 추적 시스템의 정확성과 빠른 성능을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a robust correlation-based video tracking is proposed to track a moving object in correlated image sequences. A correlation-based video tracking algorithm seeks to align the incoming target image with the reference target block image, but has critical problems, so called a false-peak problem and a drift phenomenon (correlator walk-off. The false-peak problem is generally caused by highly correlated background pixels with similar intensity of a moving target and the drift phenomenon occurs when tracking errors accumulate from frame to frame because of the nature of the correlation process. At first, the false-peaks problem for the ordinary correlation-based video tracking is investigated using a simple mathematical analysis. And, we will suggest a robust selective-attention correlation measure with a gradient preprocessor combined by a drift removal compensator to overcome the walk-off problem. The drift compensator adaptively controls the template block size according to the target size of interest. The robustness of the proposed method for practical application is demonstrated by simulating two real-image sequences.

Visual Object Tracking is known as the most fundamental problem in the field of computer vision. Object tracking localize the region of target object with bounding box in the video. In this paper, a custom CNN is created to extract object feature that has strong and various information. This network was constructed as a Siamese network for use as a feature extractor. The input images are passed convolution block composed of a bottleneck layers, and features are emphasized. The feature map of the target object and the search area, extracted from the Siamese network, was input as a local proposal network. Estimate the object area using the feature map. The performance of the tracking algorithm was evaluated using the OTB2013 dataset. Success Plot and Precision Plot were used as evaluation matrix. As a result of the experiment, 0.611 in Success Plot and 0.831 in Precision Plot were achieved.

정지 영상이나 비디오 영상 시퀀스에서 배경 영상으로부터 움직이는 관심 물체를 구별하기 위한 실시간 물체 검출은 물체의 위치 추적과 인식에 있어 필수적인 단계이다. 물체 분할 후에 그림자 영역이 움직이는 물체 영역에 포함되어지기 때문에 그림자는 물체의 일부분 혹은 움직이는 물체로 오분류될 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 그림자 제거 알고리즘은 움직이는 물체 검출 및 추적 시스템의 결과에 중요한 역할을 한다. 이 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 움직이는 물체의 특징과 색상공간에서 그림자의 특징에 기반을 둔 정확한 물체 검출과 그림자 제거 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험결과는 제안 알고리즘이 실험 영상에서 물체 검출과 그림자 제거에 대해 효과적인 것을 알 수가 있다.

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.

Object Tracking is a technique for tracking moving objects over time in a video image. Using object tracking technique, many research are conducted such a detecting dangerous situation and recognizing the movement of nearby objects in a smart car. However, it still remains a challenging task such as occlusion, deformation, background clutter, illumination variation, etc. In this paper, we propose a novel deep visual object tracking method that can be operated in robust to many challenging task. For the robust visual object tracking, we proposed a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) which shares weight of the convolutional layers. Input of the CNN is a three; first frame object image, object image in a previous frame, and current search frame containing the object movement. Also we propose a method to consider the motion of the object when determining the current search area to search for the location of the object. Extensive experimental results on a authorized resource database showed that the proposed method outperformed than the conventional methods.

본 논문에서는 분할기반 영상 부호화를 위한 새로운 영상 분할 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 움직임과 밝기 정보에 기반한 새로운 유사성 척도를 사용한다. 그리고 하나의 분할 단계 내에 밝기와 움직임 정보가 함께 결합된다. 영상 분할은 분수령 알고리즘에 기반한 영역 확장법을 통해 이루처지며, 연속된 프레임에 대한 분할은 분할결과가 시간축으로 일관성을 유지하도록 추적방법을 통해 이루어진다. 모의실험결과, 제안된 방법이 통계적 척도만을 사용한 방법과는 달리, 물체의 경계를 결정하는데 효과적임을 보였다.

We present a scalable object tracking framework, which is capable of removing shadows and tracking the people. The framework consists of background subtraction, fuzzy based shadow removal and boundary tracking algorithm. This work proposes a general-purpose method that combines statistical assumptions with the object-level knowledge of moving objects, apparent objects, and shadows acquired in the processing of the previous frames. Pixels belonging to moving objects and shadows are processed differently in order to supply an object-based selective update. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to track the object boundaries under significant shadows with noise and background clutter.
