Tracking Manually Selected Object in Videos Using Color Histogram Matching
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tracking a moving object over time is a challenging task. In this paper object to be tracked is manually selected by the user in one video frame and it is tracked in all subsequent frames of the given input video sequence. The work is carried out in two steps. First the object is detected using 64bin colour histogram matching and the object positions in all the video frames is determined to obtain a temporal sequence of coordinates. Next the object is tracked by calculating Euclidean distance between tracked objects and manually selected reference object. The proposed method is compared with KLT tracker which is a kernel based tracking method and it is found that 64 bin colour histogram matching method can be used to track objects effectively. The results show that the colour histogram features are very efficient in tracking objects, in small and medium length video sequences.

Color scene transform between images using Rosenfeld-Kak histogram matching method
In digital color imaging, it is of interest to transform the color scene of an image to the other. Some attempts have been done in this case using, for example, lαβ color space, principal component analysis and recently histogram rescaling method. In this research, a novel method is proposed based on the Resenfeld and Kak histogram matching algorithm. It is suggested that to transform the color...
متن کاملObject Tracking Using Background Subtraction and Motion Estimation in MPEG Videos
We present a fast and robust method for moving object tracking directly in the compressed domain using features available in MPEG videos. DCT domain background subtraction in Y plane is used to locate candidate objects in subsequent I-frames after a user has marked an object of interest in the given frame. DCT domain histogram matching using Cb and Cr planes and motion vectors are used to selec...

In this paper, we propose the object tracking method based on color histograms and particle filtering. Particle filtering is a time series filter for estimating a state using probabilistic approach. Unlike deterministic approach such as template matching algorithm, it is more robust to occlusion or clutter because of its having many hypotheses. Moreover, color histograms are robust to partial o...
