This paper presents a complete method for vehicle detection and tracking in a fixed setting based on computer vision. Vehicle detection is performed based on Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) feature matching. With SIFT feature detection and matching, the geometrical relations between the two images is estimated. Then, the previous image is aligned with the current image so that moving vehicles can be detected by analyzing the difference image of the two aligned images. Vehicle tracking is also performed based on SIFT feature matching. For the decreasing of time consumption and maintaining higher tracking accuracy, the detected candidate vehicle in the current image is matched with the vehicle sample in the tracking sample set, which contains all of the detected vehicles in previous images. Most remarkably, the management of vehicle entries and exits is realized based on SIFT feature matching with an efficient update mechanism of the tracking sample set. This entire method is proposed for highway traffic environment where there are no non-automotive vehicles or pedestrians, as these would interfere with the results.

Template matching is used for many applications in image processing. One of the most researched topics is object tracking. Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC) is the basic statistical approach to match images. NCC is used for template matching or pattern recognition. A template can be considered from a reference image, and an image from a scene can be considered as a source image. The objective is to establish the correspondence between the reference and source images. The matching gives a measure of the degree of similarity between the image and the template. A problem with NCC is its high computational cost and occasional mismatching. To deal with this problem, this paper presents an algorithm based on the Sum of Squared Difference (SSD) and an adaptive template matching to enhance the quality of the template matching in object tracking. The SSD provides low computational cost, while the adaptive template matching increases the accuracy matching. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm is quite efficient for image matching. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by several situations in the results section.

We present an efficient and robust measurement model for visual tracking. This approach builds on and extends work on subspace representations of measurement model. Subspace-based tracking algorithms have been introduced to visual tracking literature for a decade and show considerable tracking performance due to its robustness in matching. However the measures used in their measurement models are often restricted to few approaches. We propose a novel measure of object matching using Angle In Feature Space, which aims to improve the discriminability of matching in subspace. Therefore, our tracking algorithm can distinguish target from similar background clutters which often cause erroneous drift by conventional Distance From Feature Space measure. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed tracking algorithm under severe cluttered background.

In this paper we describe an approach for template based detection and tracking of objects by chamfer matching in real time video. Detecting and tracking of any objects is the key problem in computer vision. In our case we try for hand and head of human for detection and tracking by chamfer matching technique. Matching involves correlating the templates with the distance transformed scene and determining the locations where the mismatch is below a certain user defined threshold.

Vision-based tracking has been proposed as a means to efficiently track a large number of construction resources operating in a congested site. In order to obtain 3D coordinates of an object, it is necessary to employ stereo-vision theories. Detecting and tracking of multiple objects require an entity matching process that finds corresponding pairs of detected entities across the two camera views. This paper proposes an efficient way of entity matching for tracking of construction workers. The proposed method basically uses epipolar geometry which represents the relationship between the two fixed cameras. Each pixel coordinate in a camera view is projected onto the other camera view as an epipolar line. The proposed method finds the matching pair of a worker entity by comparing the proximity of the all detected entities in the other view to the epipolar line. Experimental results demonstrate its suitability for automated entity matching for 3D vision-based tracking of construction workers.

본 논문에서는 개선된 챔퍼매칭(Chamfer Matching)으로 2차원 평면 객체 모델을 추적하는 방법을 제시한다. 기존 챔퍼매칭은 배경이 복잡할 경우 객체와 영상간의 유사도를 계산하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 챔퍼매칭을 에지와 코너특징을 사용해 복잡한 배경에서도 유사도를 계산할 수 있도록 개선한다. 개선된 챔퍼매칭은 기하(Geometric) 모델을 추적하는 파티클 필터(Particle Filter)의 우도함수로 사용된다. 기하모델은 2차원 평면 객체를 에지 및 코너 특징점과 포즈로 모델링하며, 색상 변화에 안정적인 객체서술자이다. 파티클 필터는 칼만필터 보다 더 비선형적인 추적 방법이다. 따라서 제안된 방법은 복잡한 환경에서 객체를 추적하기 위해 기하모델 및 파티클 필터, 개선된 챔퍼 매칭을 사용한다. 실험 결과에서는 제안 방법의 강건함을 기존 방법의 비교를 통해 나타낸다.

비디오 감시 시스템에서 물체의 추적은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 외부 환경에서 움직이는 물체를 추적하는 방법을 제안한다. 움직이는 물체를 추적하기 위하여 먼저 가중치 차 영상을 구하여 움직이는 물체를 추출한 후 다시 닫힘 연산을 사용하여 잡음을 제거한다. 그리고 추출된 다양한 특징 정보로 매칭하여 움직이는 물체를 추적한다. 제안된 추적 방법은 가중치 차 영상을 사용하여 움직이는 물체를 추적하기에 정지된 물체가 갑자기 움직이거나 갑자기 멈출 때도 정확히 추적할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 추적 시스템은 공간위치, 형상과 명암도 특징을 종합하기에 움직이는 물체를 보다 더 효과적으로 추적할 수 있다.

In multiple object tracking, accurate detection for each of objects that appear sequentially and effective tracking in complicated cases that they are overlapped with each other are very important. In this paper, we propose a multiple object tracking system that has a concrete detection and tracking characteristics by using multi-lateral histogram and SIFT feature extraction algorithm. Especially, by limiting the matching area to object's inside and by utilizing the location informations in the keypoint matching process of SIFT algorithm, we advanced the tracking performance for multiple objects. Based on the experimental results, we found that the proposed tracking system has a robust tracking operation in the complicated environments that multiple objects are frequently overlapped in various of directions.

The main problems of computational complexity in object tracking are definition of objects, segmentations and identifications in non-structured environments with erratic movements and collisions of objects. The object's information as a region that corresponds to objects without discriminating among objects are considered. This paper describes the algorithm that, automatically and efficiently, recognizes and keeps tracks of interest-regions selected by users in video or camera image sequences. The block-based feature matching method is used for the region tracking. This matching process considers only dominant feature points such as corners and curved-edges without requiring a pre-defined model of objects. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides above 96% precision for correct region matching and real-time process even when the objects undergo scaling and 3-dimen-sional movements In successive image sequences.
