Robust real-time tracking on an active vision head
نویسندگان
چکیده
Achieving the rst step of a framework for humanrobot interaction, we have designed a binocular tracking system which uses disparity and velocity information for the detection and pursuit of moving objects in cluttered environments without a-priori knowledge of the target shape or texture. The implemented system robustly tracks in real-time deformable objects such as human hands and faces, taking advantage of the mechanical and optical properties of ESCHeR, a high performances active vision head equipped with foveated wide-angle lenses.

Robust real-time multi-user pupil detection and tracking under various illumination and large-scale head motion
A novel approach to Robust real-time multi-user pupil detection and tracking is presented, and this kind of detection and tracking behaves well under the circumstance of various illumination or large-scale head motion. Firstly, with active IR illumination, the possible positions of human pupils are depicted according to bright pupil effect and then some image pretreatment is conducted to dimini...
متن کاملReal{time Head Tracking by Saccadic Exploration and Gabor Decomposition
The Gabor decomposition is a ubiquitous tool in computer vision. Nevertheless, it is generally considered computationally demanding for active vision applications. We suggest an attention{driven approach to head detection and tracking inspired by the human saccadic system. A dramatic speedup is achieved by computing the Gabor decomposition only on the points of a sparse retinotopic grid. The re...

We have designed and implemented a real-time binocular tracking system which uses two independent cues commonly found in the primary functions of biological visual systems to robustly track moving targets in complex environments, without a-priori knowledge of the target shape or texture: a fast optical ow segmentation algorithm quickly locates independently moving objects for target acquisition...
متن کاملModel-Based Active Contour for Real Time Tracking
Real-time object tracking has become a very important task for a large number of computer vision and robotic applications. The tracking function must be robust, despite of the high complexity present in a given environment. Frequently, the object to be tracked is well known (humans, head, hands, traffic signs, etc.). Shape constraints can be introduced directly in energy formulation, or can be ...
