Stereo Particle Tracking

چکیده
Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) has become a standard technique frequently applied in flow field diagnostics ([1],[7],[8]). This article presents a novel technique which combines the strength of well known 2-D PTV with stereo calibration and correlation techniques to obtain 3D Lagrangian velocity fields. The here presented stereo correlation technique is fundamental for 3-D PTV. In addition with a sub pixel precise stereo calibration technique it is possible to reconstruct, timely and spatially resolved, paths of particles representing the flow characteristic. The stereo correlation technique uses the resulting trajectories from PTV. Therefore 2-D trajectories instead of spatial position for single particles are correlated. This allows to keep the set-up simple with a minimum number of two cameras and also speeds up the 3-D evaluation compared to multiple camera set-ups. First results of flow visualisation with particles and air bubbles are presented.

Complementary human detection and multiple feature based tracking using a stereo camera
A human detection and tracking method using a stereo camera is presented in this paper. Two human detection methods are independently implemented, and the results are combined to reduce misdetection and nondetection. The tracking step is based on particle filtering. In the data association phase, we introduce three features: distance, traveling direction, and color. The color feature is obtaine...

This paper presents a vision-based method for tracking guitar fingerings played by guitar players from stereo cameras. We propose a novel framework for colored finger markers tracking by integrating a Bayesian classifier into particle filters, with the advantages of performing automatic track initialization and recovering from tracking failures in a dynamic background.

متن کاملHuman Activity Tracking from Moving Camera Stereo Data
We present a method for tracking human activity using observations from a moving narrow-baseline stereo camera. Range data are computed from the disparity between stereo image pairs. We propose a novel technique for calculating weighting scores from range data given body configuration hypotheses. We use a modified Annealed Particle Filter to recover the optimal tracking candidate from a low dim...
متن کاملUnscented Kalman Filtering for Articulated Human Tracking
We present an articulated tracking system working with data from a single narrow baseline stereo camera. The use of stereo data allows for some depth disambiguation, a common issue in articulated tracking, which in turn yields likelihoods that are practically unimodal. While current state-of-the-art trackers utilize particle filters, our unimodal likelihood model allows us to use an unscented K...
متن کاملReal Time Parallel Implementation of Particles Filter Based Visual Tracking
Particle filtering is a widely used method to solve vision tracking problems. However, to be able to run in real-time on standard architecture, the state vector used in the particle filter must remain small [1]. We propose a parallel implementation of a 3D tracking algorithm operating on a stereo video stream and running in real-time on a cluster architecture. We demonstrate the efficiency of t...
متن کاملA Novel SFP Extracting/Tracking Framework for Rigid Microstructure Measurement
3D measurement and reconstruction of rigid microstructures rely on the precise matches of structural feature points SFPs between microscopic images. However, most of the existing algorithms fail in extracting and tracking at microscale due to the poor quality of the microscopic images. This paper presents a novel framework for extracting and matching SFPs in microscopic images under two stereo ...
