Scatter Search Particle Filter for 2D Real-Time Hands and Face Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the scatter search particle filter (SSPF) algorithm and its application to real-time hands and face tracking. SSPF combines sequential Monte Carlo (particle filter) and combinatorial optimization (scatter search) methods. Hands and face are characterized using a skin-color model based on explicit RGB region definition. The hybrid SSPF approach enhances the performance of classical particle filter, reducing the required evaluations of the weighting function and increasing the quality of the estimated solution. The system operates on 320x240 live video in real-time.

Multi-dimensional visual tracking using scatter search particle filter
Multi-dimensional Visual Tracking (MVT) problems include visual tracking tasks where the system state is defined by a high number of variables corresponding to multiple model components and/or multiple targets. A MVT problem can be modeled as a dynamic optimization problem. In this context, we propose an algorithm which hybridizes Particle Filters (PF) and the Scatter Search (SS) metaheuristic,...
متن کاملCombining Particle filter and Population-Based Metaheuristics for Visual Articulated Motion Tracking
Visual tracking of articulated motion is a complex task with high computational costs. Because of the fact that articulated objects are usually represented as a set of linked limbs, tracking is performed with the support of a model. Model-based tracking allows determining object pose in an effortless way and handling occlusions. However, the use of articulated models generates a multidimensiona...
متن کاملBimanual Hand Tracking based on AR-KLT
Robot and human interaction has received a significant amount of attention in the robot vision research community in the past decades. This has been motivated by the desire of understanding human gesture/motion tracking and recognition. If you solve tracking problems under the circumstance of fast movement, occlusion, and illumination, then you need to complicate calculation, and hence the comp...
متن کاملMulti-camera Person Tracking in a Cluttered Interaction Environment
Tracking the head and hand in real-time are important tasks for developing an intuitive interaction system. We present a system for robust probabilistic tracking that integrates face detection, face and hand color tracking and foot tracking in a uniform way by using particle filters. The advantages of different cues like motion, color and face detection are combined to yield robust 2D and 3D po...
متن کاملNeural Network Performance Analysis for Real Time Hand Gesture Tracking Based on Hu Moment and Hybrid Features
This paper presents a comparison study between the multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks with supervised learning and back propagation algorithm to track hand gestures. Both networks have two output classes which are hand and face. Skin is detected by a regional based algorithm in the image, and then networks are applied on video sequences frame by frame in...
