In this study, we have proposed the method of moving area detection as the preprocessing step of moving object tracking system. First, we catch the two frames which are different at time in image sequence. We obtain the moving area by using their binary differential image. In differential image, the object area of previous and current frame is present. In the tracking system, the background is changed by camera motion. So, in this case we have to decide which moving area of object is current at time. We obtain the binary edge image of current frame by applying a threshold to the output of an edge detector. Then we performed logical AND operation between the edge image and differential image. As a result of this work moving area of object can be detected.

This paper proposes a multiple moving objects tracking system which is adaptable itself to circumstances. Snake model is sensitive to the start position value because it does not accurately express contours of objects in complex image. It can be improved as the proposed system gets background images by using difference images, segments objects using neighborhood pixels and assesses the position feature values acquired on the start position value to deformable Snake model. And also the system can simplify complex background images and reduce search regions by the constituent points of a Snake laid in Positions of object. It is showed that the proposed system can be appBied to multiple moving vehicle racking systems by the experimental results of 30fps AVI file.

In this paper we proposed a combined active contour model and motion estimation-based object tracking technique. After assigning the initial contour, we find the object's boundary and update the initial contour by using object's motion information. In the following frames, similar snake algorithm is repeated to make continuously estimated object's region. The snake algerian plays a role in separating the object from background, while motion estimation provides object's moving direction and displacement. The proposed algorithm provides equivalently stable, robust, tracking performance with significantly reduced amount of computation, compared with the existing shape model-based algorithms.

유비쿼터스 시대가 도래함에 따라 사회적으로 실내 위치 추적 시스템에 대한 관심이 증가되었다. 하지만 기존 실내 위치 추적 시스템은 실내 환경의 빈번한 변화에 능동적으로 대응하지 못하고, 실내 환경의 NLOS 특성으로 인하여 이동 객체의 정확한 위치 측정이 어려운 문제점이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 앞으로 유비쿼터스 시대가 도래함에 따라 다양한 사용자의 요구를 만족시키기 위한 서비스를 제공하는데 필수 요소인 실내 이동 객체의 위치를 효과적으로 파악하고, 이동 객체의 위치 정확도를 향상시킨 환경 적응형 위치 추적시스템을 제안한다.

Object tracking in a real time image is one of interesting subjects in computer vision and many practical application fields Past couple of years. But sometimes existing systems cannot find object by recognize background noise as object. This paper proposes a method of object detection and tracking using adaptive background image in real time. To detect object which does not influenced by illumination and remove noise in background image, this system generates adaptive background image by real time background image updating. This system detects object using the difference between background image and input image from camera. After setting up MBR(minimum bounding rectangle) using the internal point of detected otject, the system tracks otiect through this MBR. In addition, this paper evaluates the test result about performance of proposed method as compared with existing tracking algorithm.

For the detection of objects in the videos, there are various ways that use the frequency transformation. In the videos, the images of objects could be changed slightly. Object detection methods using frequency transformation such as ASEF and MOSSE have the ability to renew the detection filter in order to deal with the change of object images. But these approaches are likely to fail the detection because the image changes often occur when they come out again after being hidden by other objects. What is worse, when they show up again, they appear in another place, not the original one. In this paper, a new proposal is present so that the detection can be carried out efficiently even when the images come out in other place, and the failure of the detection can be reduced.

The snake algorithm is widely adopted to track objects by extracting the active contour of the object from background. However, it fails to track the target converging to the background if there exists background whose gradient is greater than that of the pixels on the contour. Also, the contour may shrink when the target moves fast and the snake algorithm misses the boundary of the object in its searching window. To alleviate these problems, we propose an improved algorithm that can track object contour more robustly. Firstly, we propose two external energy functions, the edge energy and the contrast energy. One is designed to give more weight to the gradient on the boundary and the other to reflect the contrast difference between the object and background. Secondly, by computing the motion vector of the contour from the difference of the two consecutive frames, we can move the snake pointers of the previous frame near the region where the object boundary is probable at the current frame. Computer experiments show that the proposed method is more robust to the complicated background than the previously known methods and can track the object with fast movement.

In this paper, we propose multiple human tracking with an moving stereo camera. The tracking process is based on mean shift algorithm which is using color information of the target. Color based tracking approach is invariant to translation and rotation of the target but, it has several problems. Because of mean shift uses color distribution, it is sensitive to color distribution of background and targets. In order to solve this problem, we combine color and depth information of target. Also, we build human body part model to handle occlusions and we have created adaptive box scale. As a result, the proposed method is simple and efficient to track multiple humans in real time.

This paper proposed a object tracking algorithm which can track contour of fast moving object through motion estimation. Since the proposed tracking algorithm is based on the radial representation, the motion estimation of object can be accomplished at the center of object with the low computation complexity. The motion estimation of object makes it possible to track object which move fast more than distance from center point to contour point for each frame. In addition, by introducing both gradient image and difference image into energy functions in the process of energy convergence, object tracking is more robust to the complex background. The results of experiment show that the proposed algorithm can track fast moving object in real-time and is robust under the complex background.
