Kernel-Bayesian Framework for Object Tracking

چکیده
This paper proposes a general Kernel-Bayesian framework for object tracking. In this framework, the kernel based method—mean shift algorithm is embedded into the Bayesian framework seamlessly to provide a heuristic prior information to the state transition model, aiming at effectively alleviating the heavy computational load and avoiding sample degeneracy suffered by the conventional Bayesian trackers. Moreover, the tracked object is characterized by a spatial-constraint MOG (Mixture of Gaussians) based appearance model, which is shown more discriminative than the traditional MOG based appearance model. Meantime, a novel selective updating technique for the appearance model is developed to accommodate the changes in both appearance and illumination. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared with Bayesian and kernel based tracking frameworks, the proposed algorithm is more efficient and effective.

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...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian methods for kernel-based object tracking
A framework for real-time tracking of complex non-rigid objects is presented. The object shape is approximated by an ellipse and its appearance by histogram based features derived from local image properties. An efficient search procedure is used to find the image region with a histogram most similar to the histogram of the tracked object. The procedure is a natural extension of the mean-shift ...
متن کاملVisual Tracking using Kernel Projected Measurement and Log-Polar Transformation
Visual Servoing is generally contained of control and feature tracking. Study of previous methods shows that no attempt has been made to optimize these two parts together. In kernel based visual servoing method, the main objective is to combine and optimize these two parts together and to make an entire control loop. This main target is accomplished by using Lyapanov theory. A Lyapanov candidat...
متن کاملMOTEXATION: Multi-Object Tracking with the Expectation-Maximization Algorithm
The paper proposes a new edge-based multi-object tracking framework, MOTEXATION, which deals with tracking multiple objects with occlusions using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and a novel edge-based appearance model. In the edge-based appearance model, an object is modelled by a mixture of a non-parametric contour model and a non-parametric edge model using kernel density estimati...
متن کاملObject Tracking via Tensor Kernel Space Projection
Although there has been significant progress in the past decade, object tracking under complex environment is still a very challenging task, due to the irregular changes in object appearance. To alleviate these problems, this research developed an object tracking algorithm via tensor kernel space projection. In the initial stage of tracking, a template matching algorithm was used to obtain a pr...
