An Appearance-Based Particle Filter for Visual Tracking in Smart Rooms
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 body part color histograms. A likelihood function is derived which, embedded in an occlusion-robust multibody tracker, allows for robust and ID persistent 3D tracking in cluttered environments. We describe both model rendering and target detection procedures in detail, and report a quantitative evaluation of the approach on the ’CLEAR’07 3D Person Tracking’ corpus.

An Efficient Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Particle Filter and Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid Particle Filter (PF) algorithm for video tracking by employing a genetic algorithm to solve the sample impoverishment problem. In the presented method, the object to be tracked is selected by a rectangular window inside which a few numbers of particles are scattered. The particles’ weights are calculated based on the similarity between feature vecto...
متن کاملA New Modified Particle Filter With Application in Target Tracking
The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...

Video object segmentation and tracking are two essential building blocks of smart surveillance systems. However, there are several issues that need to be resolved. Threshold decision is a difficult problem for video object segmentation with a multibackground model.Addition to , some conditions make robust video object tracking difficult. These conditions include nonrigid object motion, target a...
متن کاملUnscented Auxiliary Particle Filter Implementation of the Cardinalized Probability Hypothesis Density Filters
The probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter suffers from lack of precise estimation of the expected number of targets. The Cardinalized PHD (CPHD) recursion, as a generalization of the PHD recursion, remedies this flaw and simultaneously propagates the intensity function and the posterior cardinality distribution. While there are a few new approaches to enhance the Sequential Monte Carlo (S...
متن کاملMemory-Based Particle Filter for Tracking Objects with Large Variation in Pose and Appearance
A novel memory-based particle filter is proposed to achieve robust visual tracking of a target’s pose even with large variations in target’s position and rotation, i.e. large appearance changes. The memorybased particle filter (M-PF) is a recent extension of the particle filter, and incorporates a memory-based mechanism to predict prior distribution using past memory of target state sequence; i...
