In this paper, we propose a new color histogram model for object tracking. The proposed model incorporates the color arrangement of the target that encodes the relative spatial distribution of the colors inside the object. Using the color arrangement, we can determine which color bin is more reliable for tracking. Based on the proposed color histogram model, we derive a mean shift framework using a modified Bhattacharyya distance. In addition, we present a method of updating an object scale and a target model to cope with changes in the target appearance. Unlike conventional mean shift based methods, our algorithm produces satisfactory results even when the object being tracked shares similar colors with the background.

본 논문은 서베일런스 네트워크에서 영상의 색상 정보를 이용한 객체 추적 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 적응적인 색상 모델을 이용한 객체 검출을 수행한다. 객체 윤곽선 검출은 객체 인식과 같은 응용에서 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 실험 결과는 색상과 크기에서 객체의 다양한 변화가 있을 때에도 성공적인 객체 검출을 증명한다. 실시간으로 객체를 검출하는 응용 분야에서 대량의 영상 데이터를 전송할 때 색상 분포의 형태를 찾아내는 것이 가능하다. 객체의 특정 색상 정보는 입력 영상에서 동적으로 변화하는 색상에서 자주 수정되어진다. 그래서, 이 알고리즘은 해당 추적 영역 안에서 객체의 추적 영역 정보를 탐지하고 그 객체의 움직임만을 추적한다. 실험을 통해, 본 논문은 어떤 이상적인 상황하에서 제안하는 객체 추적 알고리즘이 다른 방법보다 더 강인한 면이 있다는 것을 보여준다.

기존의 색상 기반의 Mean Shift 알고리즘을 이용한 객체추적 알고리즘은 초기 색상 정보가 사라질 경우 정확한 객체추적을 수행할 수 없다. 본 논문은 객체의 색상이 변할 때 색상 정보를 변경하여 정확히 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 현재의 위치를 중심으로 다음 객체 위치에 해당하는 밀도가 가장 높은 위치를 Mean Shift알고리즘으로 구하고, 바꿔 색상 정보를 변경하는 반복적인 기법을 사용한다. 이를 통해 처음 설정한 객체의 색상이 바뀌거나 사라지더라도 정확한 객체추적을 할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 제안 알고리즘을 구현하고, 실험 결과로 성능을 입증한다.

This paper presents an object tracking with radical change of color. Conventional Mean Shift do not provide appropriate result when major color distribution disappear. Our tracking approach is based on Mean Shift as basic tracking method. However we propose tracking algorithm that shows good results for an object of radical variation. The key idea is iterative update previous color information of an object that shows different color by using EM algorithm. As experiment results, we show that our proposed algorithm is an effective approach in tracking for a real object include an object having radical change of color.

We propose an global color model based method for tracking motions of multiple human using a networked multiple-camera system in intelligent space as a human-robot coexistent system. An intelligent space is a space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors(color CCD cameras for example), are distributed. Human beings can be a part of intelligent space as well. One of the main goals of intelligent space is to assist humans and to do different services for them. In order to be capable of doing that, intelligent space must be able to do different human related tasks. One of them is to identify and track multiple objects seamlessly. In the environment where many camera modules are distributed on network, it is important to identify object in order to track it, because different cameras may be needed as object moves throughout the space and intelligent space should determine the appropriate one. This paper describes appearance based unknown object tracking with the distributed vision system in intelligent space. First, we discuss how object color information is obtained and how the color appearance based model is constructed from this data. Then, we discuss the global color model based on the local color information. The process of learning within global model and the experimental results are also presented.

We propose a robust visual object tracking algorithm fusing a convolutional neural network tracker trained offline from a large number of video repositories and a color histogram based tracker to track objects for mixing immersive audio. Our algorithm addresses the problem of occlusion and large movements of the CNN based GOTURN generic object tracker. The key idea is the offline training of a binary classifier with the color histogram similarity values estimated via both trackers used in this method to opt appropriate tracker for target tracking and update both trackers with the predicted bounding box position of the target to continue tracking. Furthermore, a histogram similarity constraint is applied before updating the trackers to maximize the tracking accuracy. Finally, we compute the depth(z) of the target object by one of the prominent unsupervised monocular depth estimation algorithms to ensure the necessary 3D position of the tracked object to mix the immersive audio into that object. Our proposed algorithm demonstrates about 2% improved accuracy over the outperforming GOTURN algorithm in the existing VOT2014 tracking benchmark. Additionally, our tracker also works well to track multiple objects utilizing the concept of single object tracker but no demonstrations on any MOT benchmark.

In recent years there have been increasing interests in real-time object tracking with image information. Since image information is affected by illumination, this paper presents the real-time object tracking method based on neural networks that have robust characteristics under various illuminations. This paper proposes three steps to track the object and the fast tracking method. In the first step the object color is extracted using neural networks. In the second step we detect the object feature information based on invariant moment. Finally the object is tracked through a shape recognition using neural networks. To achieve the fast tracking performance, we have a global search for entire image and then have tracking the object through local search when the object is recognized.

본 논문에서는 컬러 히스토그램과 CNN 모델을 이용한 객체 추적 기법 알고리즘을 제안한다. CNN (convolutional neural network) 모델기반 객체 추적 알고리즘인 GOTURN (generic object tracking using regression network)의 정확도를 높이기 위해 컬러 히스토그램 기반 mean-shift 추적 알고리즘을 합성하였다. 두 알고리즘을 SVM (support vector machine)을 통해 분류하여 추적 정확도가 더 높은 알고리즘을 선택하도록 설계하였다. Mean-shift 추적 알고리즘은 객체 추적에 실패할 때 경계 박스가 큰 범위로 움직이는 경향이 있어 경계 박스의 이동거리에 제한을 두어 정확도를 향상시켰다. 또한 영상 평균 밝기, 히스토그램 유사도를 고려하여 두 알고리즘의 추적 시작 위치를 초기화하여 성능을 높였다. 결과적으로 기존 GOTURN 알고리즘보다 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘이 전체적으로 정확도가 1.6% 향상되었다.

Pedestrian tracking is a particular object tracking problem and an important component in various vision-based applications, such as autonomous cars and surveillance systems. Following several years of development, pedestrian tracking in videos remains challenging, owing to the diversity of object appearances and surrounding environments. In this research, we proposed a tracking-by-detection system for pedestrian tracking, which incorporates a convolutional neural network (CNN) and color information. Pedestrians in video frames are localized using a CNN-based algorithm, and then detected pedestrians are assigned to their corresponding tracklets based on similarities between color distributions. The experimental results show that our system is able to overcome various difficulties to produce highly accurate tracking results.

This paper proposes a robust object tracking algorithm using object features and on-line learning based particle filter for mobile robots. Mobile robots with a side-view camera have problems as camera jitter, illumination change, object shape variation and occlusion in variety environments. In order to overcome these problems, color histogram and HOG descriptor are fused for efficient representation of an object. Particle filter is used for robust object tracking with on-line learning method IPCA in non-linear environment. The validity of the proposed algorithm is revealed via experiments with DBs acquired in variety environment. The experiments show that the accuracy performance of particle filter using combined color and shape information associated with online learning (92.4 %) is more robust than that of particle filter using only color information (71.1 %) or particle filter using shape and color information without on-line learning (90.3 %).
