In this paper, we describe a strongly improved tracking method using combination of CAMshift and Kalman filter algorithm. CAMshift algorithm doesn't consider the object's moving direction and velocity information when it set the search windows for tracking. However if Kalman filter is combined with CAMshift for setting the search window, it can accurately predict the object's location with the object's present location and velocity information. By using this prediction before CAMshift algorithm, we can track fast moving objects successfully. Also in this research, we show better tracking results than conventional approaches which make use of single color information by using both color information of HSV and YCrCb simultaneously. This modified approach obtains more robust color segmentation than others using single color information.

In this paper we proposed an object tracking system using PTZ camera. Once the target object is detected, the CAMshift tracking algorithm focuses it in realtime mode as the camera is moving accordingly. Since the CAMShift algorithm takes into account the object size, zoom related tracking is possible. We used the spherical coordinate to gain pan and tilt position. The position information is used to set the center of target object in the middle of the image by using the PTZ protocol and RS-485 interface. Our system showed excellent experimental results in various environments.

현재 홍수 시 유량조사에 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 부자법은 측정 인력, 측정비용 및 위험성이 높다는 단점이 있다. 또한 교량에서 부자를 투하하고 측면에서 부자의 이동을 추적하기 때문에 평면상의 이동에 대한 정보를 얻기 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 이에 김서준 등(2014)은 PTV 기법을 이용한 부자 추적 알고리즘을 개발하였으나 부자가 회전하거나 물속에 잠기는 부분이 변화하여 수면 위로 확인되는 부자의 길이가 변할 경우 추적이 어렵다는 한계가 있었다. 이를 개선하고자 본 연구에서는 Template Match 알고리즘과 색상 기반 영상 처리 기법을 이용한 목표물 인식 방법인 Camshift 기법을 적용하여 부자를 추적할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. Template Match 알고리즘의 경우는 입자가 많을수록 추적을 잘한다는 장점이 있지만 회전 및 변형에 취약하다는 단점이 있고, Camshift 영상 처리 기법의 경우 다수의 추적자가 존재할 경우 추적에 어려움이 있으나 추적자의 회전과 변형을 정확하게 추적할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 Template Match 알고리즘을 이용하여 이동 예상영역을 결정하고 Camshift 영상 처리 기법으로 추적을 하게되면 두 방법의 장점을 모두 살릴 수 있다. Camshift 영상 처리 기법을 실제 부자 추적에 적용해 본 결과 부자의 회전 및 변형에도 정확하게 추적할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 부자법을 이용한 유량 조사에 본 연구에서 개발한 알고리즘을 적용한다면 현장에서 동영상 촬영만 하면 되기 때문에 측정 인원을 최소화 할 수 있어 매우 경제적이고, 홍수 시 위험성도 감소할 것으로 기대된다.

We present a new text localization method in images using a multi-layer perceptron(MLP) and a multiple continuously adaptive mean shift (MultiCAMShift) algorithm. An automatically constructed MLP-based texture classifier generates a text probability image for various types of images without an explicit feature extraction. The MultiCAMShift algorithm, which operates on the text probability Image produced by an MLP, can place bounding boxes efficiently without analyzing the texture properties of an entire image.

This paper deals with a color-based tracking of a moving object. Firstly, existing Camshift algorithm is complemented to improve the tracking weakness in the brightness change of an image which occurs in every frame. The complemented Camshift still shows unstable tracking when the objects with same color of the tracking object exist in background. In order to overcome the drawback this paper proposes the Camshift combined with KLT algorithm based on optical flow. The KLT algorithm performing the pixel-based feature tracking can complement the shortcoming of Camshift. Experimental results show that the merged tracking method makes up for the drawback of the Camshit algorithm and also improves tracking performance.

In this paper, we propose Modified Multi CAMShift Algorithm based on Kalman filter and Weighted Search Windows(KWMCAMShift) that extracts skin color area and tracks several human body parts for real-time human tracking system. We propose modified CAMShift algorithm that generates background model, extracts skin area of hands and head, and tracks the body parts. Kalman filter stabilizes tracking search window of skin area due to changing skin area in consecutive frames. Each occlusion areas is avoided by using weighted window of non-search areas and main-search area. And shadows are eliminated from background model and intensity of shadow. The proposed KWMCAMShift algorithm can estimate human pose in real-time and achieves 96.82% accuracy even in the case of occlusions.

A finger-gesture game controller using the single camera is implemented in this paper, which is based on the recognition of the number of fingers and the index finger moving direction. Proposed method uses the CAMShift algorithm to trace the end-point of index finger effectively. The number of finger is recognized by using a double circle tracing method. Then, HSI color mode transformation is performed for the CAMShift algorithm, and YCbCr color model is used in the double circle tracing method. Also, all processing tasks are implemented by using the Intel OpenCV library and C++ language. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we developed a shooting game simulator and validated the proposed method. The proposed method showed the average recognition ratio of more than 90% for each of the game command-mode.

In this paper proposes bat tracking in baseball broadcasting using CAMshift and Kalman filter. The bat is changing fast during the swing, the shape also continues to rotate. For this reason, to apply the CAMshift to self adjust the size of the search window in order to use the color information to the invariant of the bat. Because it uses the color information if there are objects of similar color to the background because of the interruption on the track narrows the search range in range of motion detection by using the MHI(Motion History Image). By applying a Kalman filter, limit changing on the size of the search window, and it can be obtained higher track accuracy. But, this proposed method was limited color change by light.

In this paper, we propose an robust CAMShift method to track stage objects with a camera. In order to solve the problem of tracking object misdetection in existing CAMShift technique, MBR region is detected to separate the background and the subject, and the subject size of the region of interest is calculated to solve the problem of erroneously detecting a large region having a similar color distribution ratio. Also, by applying the color corelogram and MB-LBP to the part that can not be solved by the color ratio and the size limitation, accurate texture tracking is enabled by reflecting the texture characteristics. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good tracking performance for objects that do not deviate from the size of the subject set in the area of interest and accurately extracts the texture characteristics of different subjects with similar color distribution ratios.

In this paper, we propose a robust fingertip extraction and extended Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift (CAMSHIFT) based robust hand gesture recognition for natural human-like HRI (Human-Robot Interaction). Firstly, for efficient and rapid hand detection, the hand candidate regions are segmented by the combination with robust $YC_bC_r$ skin color model and haar-like features based adaboost. Using the extracted hand candidate regions, we estimate the palm region and fingertip position from distance transformation based voting and geometrical feature of hands. From the hand orientation and palm center position, we find the optimal fingertip position and its orientation. Then using extended CAMSHIFT, we reliably track the 2D hand gesture trajectory with extracted fingertip. Finally, we applied the conditional density propagation (CONDENSATION) to recognize the pre-defined temporal motion trajectories. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm not only rapidly extracts the hand region with accurately extracted fingertip and its angle but also robustly tracks the hand under different illumination, size and rotation conditions. Using these results, we successfully recognize the multiple hand gestures.
