  • Nicole M. Artner
چکیده

The mean shift algorithm is a well-known statistical method for finding local maxima in probability distributions. Besides filtering and segmentation it is applied in the field of object tracking. There are several approaches that use the mean shift method for locating target objects in video sequences. This paper compares three similar approaches and investigates their performance on different test videos.

اصلاح ردیاب انتقال متوسط برای ردگیری هدف با الگوی تابشی متغیر

The mean shift algorithm is one of the popular methods in visual tracking for non-rigid moving targets. Basically, it is able to locate repeatedly the central mode of a desirable target. Object representation in mean shift algorithm is based on its feature histogram within a non-oriented individual kernel mask. Truly, adjusting of the kernel scale is the most critical challenge in this method. ...

Applying mean shift and motion detection approaches to hand tracking in sign language

Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...

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...

Object Tracking using Modified Mean Shift Algorithm in A Robust Manner

Object tracking in real time videos is a critical task .So far many algorithms have been proposed to overcome the difficulties which arises from noise, occlusions and changes in the foreground object. But still there is a need for an efficient algorithm that can effectively track the object due to its varying position under various ambient conditions. Among various tracking methods, the mean sh...

Performance Comparison of Kalman Filter and Mean Shift Algorithm for Object Tracking

Object tracking is one of the important tasks in the field of computer vision. Some of the areas which need Visual object tracking are surveillance, automated video analysis, etc. Mean shift algorithm is one of the popular techniques for this task and is advantageous when compared to some of the other tracking methods. But this method would not be appropriate in the case of large target appeara...
