Tracking unknown moving targets on omnidirectional vision

چکیده
This paper presents an integrated method by using optical flow and kernel particle filter (KPF) to detect and track moving targets in omnidirectional vision. According to the circle character in omnidirectional image, the algorithms of optical flow fields and kernel particle filter are improved based on the polar coordinates at the omnidirectional center. The edge of a motion object can be detected by optical flow fields and is surrounded by a reference region. In order to resolve some shape distortions such as rotation and scaling in the omnidirectional image a dynamic elliptical template with affine transformations is constructed and its motion model is established to predict particle state. Histograms are used as the features in the reference region and particle regions. The Bhattacharyya distance is computed for particle weights. Gaussian kernel function is used in kernel particle filter. Experiment results show that the method can detect and track moving objects and has better performance at real-time and accuracy.

Optimal Observer Path Planning For Bearings-Only Moving Targets Tracking Using Chebyshev Polynomials
In this paper, an optimization problem for the observer trajectory in the bearings-only surface moving target tracking (BOT) is studied. The BOT depends directly on the observability of the target's position in the target/observer geometry or the optimal observer maneuver. Therefore, the maximum lower band of the Fisher information matrix is opted as an independent criterion of the target estim...

متن کامل3D Tracking by Catadioptric Vision Based on Particle Filters
This paper presents a robust tracking system for autonomous robots equipped with omnidirectional cameras. The proposed method uses a 3D shape and color-based object model. This allows to tackle difficulties that arise when the tracked object is placed above the ground plane floor. Tracking under these conditions has two major difficulties: first, observation with omnidirectional sensors largely...
