A Novel 2D Marker Design and Application for Object Tracking and Event Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a novel application which uses 2D barcode for object tracking and event detection. We analyze the relationship between the spatial efficiency of a marker and its robustness against defocusing. Based on our analysis we design a spatially efficient and robust 2D barcode, M-Code (MarkerCode) which can be attached to the surface of static or moving objects. Compared with traditional object detection and tracking methods, M-Code not only identifies and tracks an object but also reflects its position and the orientation of the surface where it is attached. We implemented an efficient algorithm that tracks multiple M-Codes in real time in the presence of rotation and perspective distortion. In experiments we compare the spatial efficiency of M-Code with existing 2D barcodes, and quantitatively measure its robustness, including its scaling capability and tolerance to perspective distortion. As an application we use the system to detect door movements and track multiple moving objects in real scenes.

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...

Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...

متن کاملA Novel Method for Tracking Moving Objects using Block-Based Similarity
Extracting and tracking active objects are two major issues in surveillance and monitoring applications such as nuclear reactors, mine security, and traffic controllers. In this paper, a block-based similarity algorithm is proposed in order to detect and track objects in the successive frames. We define similarity and cost functions based on the features of the blocks, leading to less computati...
