Segmentation-based object tracking using image warping and Kalman filtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a segmentation-based method of object tracking using image warping and Kalman filtering. The object region is defined to include a group of patches, which are obtained by a watershed algorithm. In a robust M-estimator framework, we estimate dominant motion of the object region. A linear Kalman filter is employed to predict the estimated affine motion parameters based on a second order kinematic model. Image (affine) warping is performed to predict the object region in the next frame. Warping error of each watershed segment (patch) and its rate of overlapping with the predicted region are utilized for classification of watershed segments near the object border. Applications of head and hand tracking using this method demonstrate its performance.

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 کاملObject-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...
متن کاملA mutual information approach to articulated object tracking
A mutual information based articulated object tracking scheme is proposed in this paper. Articulation constraints are introduced using a kinematic model. Further constraints are introduced based on the human joint anatomy and flexibility. The tracking scheme is enhanced by using the tracked object texture map image. The tracking history is incorporated in the tracking scheme by using a temporal...

متن کاملVehicle Counting And Classification Using Kalman Filter And Pixel Scanner Technique And Its Verification With Optical Flow Estimation
Vehicle tracking is important in traffic monitoring systems. The behaviors of regions of moving vehicles are complicated, since the regions may combine or break during the tracking due to mistakes in vehicle detection and tracking or vehicles’ overlapping with each other, and as a result, region matching simply according to similarities between successive frames is not enough to achieve reliabl...
