چکیده

In this paper we present an efficient contour tracking algorithm which can track 2D silhouettes of multiple objects in extended image sequences captured by a static camera. We represent contours using cubic B-splines, and our tracking algorithm is based on tracking a lower dimensional shape-space. The tracker is coupled with a multiple model filtering algorithm which caters for objects that move with variable motion. The model based technique we provide is capable of tracking rigid and non­ rigid object contours with good accuracy.

Multiple Target Tracking With a 2-D Radar Using the JPDAF Algorithm and Combined Motion Model

Multiple target tracking (MTT) is taken into account as one of the most important topics in tracking targets with radars. In this paper, the MTT problem is used for estimating the position of multiple targets when a 2-D radar is employed to gather measurements. To do so, the Joint Probabilistic Data Association Filter (JPDAF) approach is applied to tracking the position of multiple targets. To ...

Online multiple people tracking-by-detection in crowded scenes

Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...

Real-Time Tracking of Multiple Objects by Linear Motion and Repulsive Motion

Successful multi-object tracking requires consistently maintaining object identities and real-time performance. This task becomes more challenging when objects are indistinguishable from one another. This paper presents a Bayesian framework for maintaining the identities of multiple objects. Our semi-independent joint motion model (SIMM) solves the coalescence and identity switching problem in ...

A Mixed-State CONDENSATION Tracker with Automatic Model-Switching

There is considerable interest in the computer vision community in representing and modelling motion. Motion models are used as predictors to increase the robustness and accuracy of visual trackers, and as classiiers for gesture recognition. This paper presents a signiicant development of random sampling methods to allow automatic switching between multiple motion models as a natural extension ...

Switching Hypothesized Measurements: A Dynamic Model with Applications to Occlusion Adaptive Joint Tracking

This paper proposes a dynamic model supporting multimodal state space probability distributions and presents the application of the model in dealing with visual occlusions when tracking multiple objects jointly. For a set of hypotheses, multiple measurements are acquired at each time instant. The model switches among a set of hypothesized measurements during the propagation. Two computationally...
