Robust real−time tracking of non−rigid objects in a dynamic environment is a challenging task. Among various cues in tracking, color can provide an efficient visual cue for this type of tracking problem because of its invariance in the presence of changing complex shapes and appearances. To track the color object, a particle filter uses several hypotheses simultaneously and weights them by thei...

The main goal of this study is the use of Lyapunov’s stability theory to a three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter (SAPF), since this method has been applied effectively to other areas of converter. The dynamic model of the SAPF is first established, after that, a combination of fuzzy tracking control and Lyapunov function is suggested in order to impose a desired transient waveform on ...

Conventional spherical simplex-radial cubature Kalman filter (SSRCKF) for maneuvering target tracking may decline in accuracy and even diverge when a target makes abrupt state changes. To overcome this problem, a novel algorithm named strong tracking spherical simplex-radial cubature Kalman filter (STSSRCKF) is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm uses the spherical simplex-radial (SS...

Correlation filtering based tracking model has received lots of attention and achieved great success in real-time tracking, however, the lost function in current correlation filtering paradigm could not reliably response to the appearance changes caused by occlusion and illumination variations. This study intends to promote the robustness of the correlation filter learning. By exploiting the an...

Magnetic Resonance Image is one of the best technologies currently being used for diagnosing brain cancer at advanced stages. This paper proposes a novel approach for the MRI image enhancement, which is based on the Modified Tracking Algorithm, Histogram Equalization and Center Weighted Median (CWM) filter. This method consists of two approaches. The first approach is applying the modified trac...

When tracking a large number of targets, it is often computationally expensive to represent the full joint distribution over target states. In cases where the targets move independently, each target can instead be tracked with a separate filter. However, this leads to a model-data association problem. Another approach to solve the problem with computational complexity is to track only the first...
