Particle Filter for Visual Tracking Using Multiple Cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article proposes an approach for visual track ing using multiple cameras with overlapping fields of view. A spatial and temporal recursive Bayesian filtering approach using particle filter is proposed to fuse image sequences of multiple cameras to optimally estimate the state of the system, i.e., the target’s location. An approximation method for importance sampling function and weight update function is also proposed. Our results show that our algorithm is effective when complete occlusions occur. This method can be used for data fusion for multiple measurements in dynamic systems.

Convolutional Gating Network for Object Tracking
Object tracking through multiple cameras is a popular research topic in security and surveillance systems especially when human objects are the target. However, occlusion is one of the challenging problems for the tracking process. This paper proposes a multiple-camera-based cooperative tracking method to overcome the occlusion problem. The paper presents a new model for combining convolutiona...
متن کاملNon-overlapping Distributed Tracking System Utilizing Particle Filter
Tracking people across multiple cameras is a challenging research area in visual computing, especially when these cameras have non-overlapping field of views. The important task is to associate a current subject with other prior appearances of the same subject across time and space in a camera network. Several known techniques rely on Bayesian approaches to perform the matching task. However, t...
متن کاملSpeaker Tracking Using an Audio-visual Particle Filter
We present an approach for tracking a lecturer during the course of his speech. We use features from multiple cameras and microphones, and process them in a joint particle filter framework. The filter performs sampled projections of 3D location hypotheses and scores them using features from both audio and video. On the video side, the features are based on foreground segmentation, multi-view fa...
متن کاملMultiple Persons Tracking with Data Fusion of Multiple Cameras and Floor Sensors Using Particle Filters
Successful multi-target tracking requires locating the targets and labeling their identities. For the multi-target tracking systems, the latter becomes more challenging when the targets frequently interact with each other. In this paper, we propose a method for multiple persons tracking using multiple cameras and floor sensors. Our method estimates 3D positions of human body and head, and label...
متن کاملAn Appearance-Based Particle Filter for Visual Tracking in Smart Rooms
This paper presents a visual particle filter for tracking a variable number of humans interacting in indoor environments, using multiple cameras. It is built upon a 3-dimensional, descriptive appearance model which features (i) a 3D shape model assembled from simple body part elements and (ii) a fast while still reliable rendering procedure developed on a key view basis of previously acquired b...
