드론의 헬리캠, 스마트폰의 카메라를 통해 얼굴영상을 검출하고, 검출된 얼굴 영역을 지속적으로 추적하는 것은 최근 많은 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 특히 색상기반의 파티클 필터를 사용하는 얼굴추적기법은 빠르고 효과적이나 사용되는 파티클의 수와 윈도우즈의 크기 간의 상간관계는 연구된 바가 없다. 이 논문에서는 색상기반 파티클 필터를 이용하여 얼굴추적 시스템을 구축하고 파티클의 수와 윈도우즈의 크기간의 상관관계를 1집단부터 5집단에 대해 윈도우즈의 크기와 파티클의 수를 변화하며 인식률의 상관관계를 살펴보았다. 파티클의 수는 10부터 120개, 윈도우즈 크기는 20픽셀부터 200픽셀에 대해 실험한 결과 실험의 파티클의 수와 윈도우즈 크기는 인식률에 의미 있는 영향이 없음을 확인했다.

Particle filter algorithm has been proven very successful for non-linear and non-Gaussian estimation problem and thus it has been widely used for object tracking for video signals. If the object moves significantly, particle filter needs very large number of particles to track object and this results high computational cost. In this paper, modified particle filter by adopting motion vector is proposed for tracking vehicle in low frame rate(LPR) video input, which the object moving significantly and randomly between consecutive frames. In the proposed algorithm, motion vector is applied in selection and observe step. The experimental result shows that the proposed particle filter can track vehicle successfully in the case when previous one fails. And it also shows the propose method increases the precision of tracking.

본 논문에서는 이동 객체를 추적하기 위해 HSI 색상 모델 기반으로 하는 파티클 필터를 이용하고, 차영상을 통해 추적하고자 하는 객체의 중심점을 보완하는 방법을 제안한다. 색상 모델 기반 파티클 필터로 이동 객체를 추적했을 때, 객체의 색 혼합도의 문제로 객체의 중심과 파티클들의 분포에 대한 정확성이 떨어져 추적의 어려움이 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 각 프레임마다 차영상을 만들어 이동객체의 중심점을 찾고, 파티클 필터로 추적한 중심점과 비교하여 객체의 중심점을 보완해 추적에 대한 정확성을 높일 수 있다.

This paper proposes a new real-time object tracking algorithm using particle filters with color and texture features in moving CCD camera images. If the user selects an initial object, this region is declared as a target particle and an initial state is modeled. Then, N particles are generated based on random distribution and CS-LBP (Centre Symmetric Local Binary Patterns) for texture model and weighted color distribution is modeled from each particle. For observation likelihoods estimation, Bhattacharyya distance between particles and their feature models are calculated and this observation likelihoods are used for weights of individual particles. After weights estimation, a new particle which has the maximum weight is selected and new particles are re-sampled using the maximum particle. For performance comparison, we tested a few combinations of features and particle filters. The proposed algorithm showed best object tracking performance when we used color and texture model simultaneously for likelihood estimation.

In this paper, we present a novel method for simultaneous detection and tracking of multiple objects using dual-layer particle filtering. The proposed dual-layer particle sampling (DLPS) algorithm consists of parent-particles (PP) in the first layer for detecting multiple objects and child-particles (CP) in the second layer for tracking objects. In the first layer, PPs detect persons using a classifier trained by the intersection kernel support vector machine (IKSVM) at each particle under a randomly selected scale. If a certain PP detects a person, it generates CPs, and makes an object model in the detected object region for tracking the detected object. While PPs that have detected objects generate CPs for tracking, the rest of PPs still move for detecting objects. Experimental results show that the proposed method can automatically detect and track multiple objects, and efficiently reduce the processing time using the sampled particles based on motion distribution in video sequences.

This paper proposes a novel forward vehicle tracking algorithm based on the WMIL(Weighted Multiple Instance Learning) equipped with a particle filter. In the proposed algorithm Haar-like features are used to train a vehicle object detector to be tracked and the location of the object are obtained from the recognition result. In order to combine both the WMIL to construct the vehicle detector and the particle filter, the proposed algorithm updates the object location by executing the propagation, observation, estimation, and selection processes involved in particle filter instead of finding the credence map in the search area for every frame. The proposed algorithm inevitably increases the computation time because of the particle filter, but the tracking accuracy was highly improved compared to Ababoost, MIL(Multiple Instance Learning) and MIL-based ones so that the position error was 4.5 pixels in average for the videos of national high-way, express high-way, tunnel and urban paved road scene.

This paper proposes an enhanced object tracking algorithm to compensate the lack of temporal information in existing particle swarm optimization based object trackers using the trajectory of the target object. The proposed scheme also enables the tracking and documentation of the location of an online updated set of distractions. Based on the trajectories information and the distraction set, a rule based approach with adaptive parameters is utilized for occlusion detection and determination of the target position. Compare to existing algorithms, the proposed approach provides more comprehensive use of available information and does not require manual adjustment of threshold values. Moreover, an effective weight adjustment function is proposed to alleviate the diversity loss and pre-mature convergence problem in particle swarm optimization. The proposed weight function ensures particles to search thoroughly in the frame before convergence to an optimum solution. In the existence of multiple objects with similar feature composition, this algorithm is tested to significantly reduce convergence to nearby distractions compared to the other existing swarm intelligence based object trackers.

In this paper, we propose a method that is tracking an object in real time using particle filter and the observation model with edge. First of all, the proposed method defines the object to be tracked in the initial frame. Then, it generates the edge observation model for the object to be tracked and a set of particles. It calculates the weight by comparing the average of the middle distance in eight-way of particle filter edge model with that in edge observation model, and then updates the weight with the calculated value. After resampling particles using the updated weights, it estimates the current location of the tracked object. Finally, this paper demonstrates the performance of the stable tracking through comparison with the existing method by using a number of experimental data.

In this study, a feature-points-tracking algorithm is suggested using a particle filter for vision based navigation system. By applying a dynamic model of the feature point, the tracking performance is increased in high dynamic condition, whereas a conventional KLT (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) cannot give a solution. Futhermore, the particle filter is introduced to cope with irregular characteristics of vision data. Post-processing of recorded vision data shows that the tracking performance of suggested algorithm is more robust than that of KLT in high dynamic condition.
