Performance of reference block updating techniques when tracking with the block matching algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
An important problem when using the Block Matching Algorithm to track objects is how to update the reference block to take account of the changing target appearance. This paper investigates and reports on the accuracy and stability of a variety of update strategies and on the robustness of these strategies to image noise. These strategies are applicable where an object is being tracked using the Block Matching Algorithm over an extended period of time or where the object appearance is changing over time.

Extraction of the Longitudinal Movement of the Carotid Artery Wall using Consecutive Ultrasonic Images: a Block Matching Algorithm
Introduction: In this study, a computer analysis method based on a block matching algorithm is presented to extract the longitudinal movement of the carotid artery wall using consecutive ultrasonic images. A window (block) is selected as the reference block in the first frame and the most similar block to the reference one is found in the subsequent frames. Material and Methods: The program was...

Image denoising by block matching and threedimensionaltransform filtering (BM3D) is a two steps state-ofthe-art algorithm that uses the redundancy of similar blocks innoisy image for removing noise. Similar blocks which can havesome overlap are found by a block matching method and groupedto make 3-D blocks for 3-D transform filtering. In this paper wepropose a new block grouping algorithm in th...

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...
