Unscented Kalman filter for visual curve tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual contour tracking in complex background is a difficult task. The measurement model is often nonlinear due to clutter in images. Traditional visual tracker based on Kalman filter employs simple linear measurement model, and often collapses in tracking process. The paper presents a new contour tracker based on Unscented Kalman filter that is superior to extended Kalman filter both in theory and in many practical situations. The new tracker employs more accurate nonlinear measurement model, without the computation of Jacobian matrix. Thanks to a set of appropriately chosen sample points, multiple hypothesises can be maintained and the best observation can be made during one time step. The algorithm can obtain more exact estimate of the state of the system, and has the same order of complexity as that of Extend Kalman Filter. The experiments show that the new algorithm is superior to those based on Kalman filter.

Doppler and bearing tracking using fuzzy adaptive unscented Kalman filter
The topic of Doppler and Bearing Tracking (DBT) problem is to achieve a target trajectory using the Doppler and Bearing measurements. The difficulty of DBT problem comes from the nonlinearity terms exposed in the measurement equations. Several techniques were studied to deal with this topic, such as the unscented Kalman filter. Nevertheless, the performance of the filter depends directly on the...

متن کاملEnhanced Importance Sampling: Unscented Auxiliary Particle Filtering for Visual Tracking
The particle filter has attracted considerable attention in visual tracking due to its relaxation of the linear and Gaussian restrictions in the state space model. It is thus more flexible than the Kalman filter. However, the conventional particle filter uses system transition as the proposal distribution, leading to poor sampling efficiency and poor performance in visual tracking. It is not a ...
