Fusing color and contour in visual tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tracking system with color and contour information is more efficient and robust than one with color or contour only. However, it is difficult to use both color and contour information. In this paper, we present an approach using the particle filter to fuse color and contour cues in tracking. First, we combine color and contour information in a Kalman filter to generate the proposal distribution which is one of the key points to improve the performance of particle filter. Subsequently, the particle filter will be applied to give the final tracking result. Our algorithm framework is flexible and it allows us integrate more measurements. Experimental result shows that this approach is an efficient and robust method.

Fusing visual contour tracking with inertial sensing to recover robot egomotion
A method for estimating mobile robot egomotion is presented, which relies on tracking contours in realtime images acquired with an uncalibrated monocular video system. After fitting an active contour to an object in the image, 3D motion is derived from the affine deformations suffered by the contour in an image sequence. More than one object can be tracked at the same time yielding some differe...

ABSTRACT: The visual tracking is the major process in finding the spot of moving object over time using a camera. Object tracking is challenging task when the object moves fast relative to the frame rate. The active contour algorithm is used for tracking the object in a given frame of an image sequence. In videos particular object motion can be tracked by using stationary cameras but in moving ...

متن کاملA Saliency Detection Model via Fusing Extracted Low-level and High-level Features from an Image
Saliency regions attract more human’s attention than other regions in an image. Low- level and high-level features are utilized in saliency region detection. Low-level features contain primitive information such as color or texture while high-level features usually consider visual systems. Recently, some salient region detection methods have been proposed based on only low-level features or hig...
