چکیده

This work puts forth a probabilistic graphical framework to track unoccluded objects undergoing large out of image plane rotations and/or presenting large scale variations in video sequences. The proposed scheme incorporates measurements from an ensemble of local patch trackers and inter-patch geometric layout to arrive at a sample based approximation of the state posterior. Following this, the geometric layout is updated online using the Iterative Conditional Estimation technique. These steps are iterated until convergence to arrive at the final state posterior. In contrast to offline training based schemes the proposed framework imposes no prior on the geometric layout and instead relies on online update of the geometric layout, thus broadening the scope of usage. Amongst other advantages, the scheme implicitly estimates the scale of the target and also adapts to varying target appearances to enable tracking under a fair degree of out of the image plane rotations. The tracking abilities of this scheme is put to test on several challenging videos with scale changes, out of the image plane rotations, illumination changes and motion jerks. Whereever possible qualitative comparisons are facilitated using videos from standard databases.

Using a Novel Concept of Potential Pixel Energy for Object Tracking

Abstract   In this paper, we propose a new method for kernel based object tracking which tracks the complete non rigid object. Definition the union image blob and mapping it to a new representation which we named as potential pixels matrix are the main part of tracking algorithm. The union image blob is constructed by expanding the previous object region based on the histogram feature. The pote...

An equalised global graphical model-based approach for multi-camera object tracking

Non-overlapping multi-camera visual object tracking typically consists of two steps: single camera object tracking and inter-camera object tracking. Most of tracking methods focus on single camera object tracking, which happens in the same scene, while for real surveillance scenes, inter-camera object tracking is needed and single camera tracking methods can not work effectively. In this paper,...

Analysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...

A Multi-cut Formulation for Joint Segmentation and Tracking of Multiple Objects

Recently, Minimum Cost Multicut Formulations have been proposed and proven to be successful in both motion trajectory segmentation and multi-target tracking scenarios. Both tasks benefit from decomposing a graphical model into an optimal number of connected components based on attractive and repulsive pairwise terms. The two tasks are formulated on different levels of granularity and, according...

Convolutional Gating Network for Object Tracking

Object tracking through multiple cameras is a popular research topic in security and surveillance systems especially when human objects are the target. However, occlusion is one of the challenging problems for the tracking process. This paper proposes a multiple-camera-based cooperative tracking method to overcome the occlusion problem.  The paper presents a new model for combining convolutiona...
