Probabilistic Image-Based Tracking: Improving Particle Filtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Condensation is a widely-used tracking algorithm based on particle filters. Although some results have been achieved, it has several unpleasant behaviours. In this paper, we highlight these misbehaviours and propose two improvements. A new weight assignment, which avoids sample impoverishment, is presented. Subsequently, the prediction process is enhanced. The proposal has been successfully tested using synthetic data, which reproduces some of the main difficulties a tracker must deal with.

Particle Filtering for Multiple Object Tracking in Dynamic Fluorescence Microscopy Images: Application to Microtubule Growth Analysis
Quantitative analysis of dynamic processes in living cells by means of fluorescence microscopy imaging requires tracking of hundreds of bright spots in noisy image sequences. Deterministic approaches, which use object detection prior to tracking, perform poorly in the case of noisy image data. We propose an improved, completely automatic tracker, built within a Bayesian probabilistic framework....
متن کاملColor Features for Tracking Non-Rigid Objects
Robust real-time tracking of non-rigid objects is a challenging task. Color distributions provide an efficient feature for this kind of tracking problems as they are robust to partial occlusion, are rotation and scale invariant and computationally efficient. This article presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering, which has typically been used in combination with ed...
متن کاملMultiple object tracking in molecular bioimaging by Rao-Blackwellized marginal particle filtering
Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy imaging has rapidly evolved in the past decade and has opened new avenues for studying intracellular processes in vivo. Such studies generate vast amounts of noisy image data that cannot be analyzed efficiently and reliably by means of manual processing. Many popular tracking techniques exist but often fail to yield satisfactory results in the case of high obj...
متن کاملHead Pose Estimation System Based on Particle Filtering with Adaptive Diffusion Control
In this paper, we propose a new tracking system based on a stochastic filtering framework for reliably estimating the 3D pose of a user’s head in real-time. Our system estimates the pose of a user’s head in each image frame whose 3D model is automatically obtained at an initialization step. In particular, our estimation method is designed to control the diffusion factor of a motion model adapti...
متن کاملProbabilistic Fiber Tracking Using Particle Filtering
This paper presents a novel and fast probabilistic method for white matter fiber tracking from diffusion weighted MRI (DWI). We formulate fiber tracking on a nonlinear state space model which is able to capture both smoothness regularity of fibers and uncertainties of the local fiber orientations due to noise and partial volume effects. The global tracking model is implemented using particle fi...
