Online detection of changepoints is useful in modelling and prediction of time series in application areas such as finance, biometrics, and robotics. While frequentist methods have yielded online filtering and prediction techniques, most Bayesian papers have focused on the retrospective segmentation problem. Here we examine the case where the model parameters before and after the changepoint are independent and we derive an online algorithm for exact inference of the most recent changepoint. We compute the probability distribution of the length of the current "run," or time since the last changepoint, using a simple message-passing algorithm. Our implementation is highly modular so that the algorithm may be applied to a variety of types of data. We illustrate this modularity by demonstrating the algorithm on three different real-world data sets.

However, unsatisfying tracking results may be produced due to different real-time conditions. These conditions include: inter-object occlusion, occlusion of the ocjects by background obstacles, splits and merges, which are observed when objects are being tracked in real-time. In this paper, an algorithm of feature-based using Kalman filter motion to handle multiple objects tracking is proposed. The system is fully automatic and requires no manual input of any kind for initialization of tracking. Through establishing Kalman filter motion model with the features centroid and area of moving objects in a single fixed camera monitoring scene, using information obtained by detection to judge whether merge or split occurred, the calculation of the cost function can be used to solve the problems of correspondence after split happened. The algorithm proposed is validated on human and vehicle image sequence algorithm proposed achieve efficient tracking of multiple moving objects under the confusing situations.
