A Multiple Object Tracking Method Using Kalman Filter
It is important to maintain the identity of multiple targets while tracking them in some applications such as behavior understanding. 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.
Current Scenario of Object Tracking: A Survey
In current scenario,a computer system has been taken as the most efficient system to detect and overcome the limitations in any technical field.In this survey paper,object tracking is taken into consideration. As the number of cameras used in the wide area video surveillance increases, multi-camera object tracking plays a more important role in understanding and analyzing the scenes. It is challenging problem.An object tracking is simply a problem of finding the different positions of the object in each frame of a video. Object tracking quality usually depends on video scene conditions.If we are able to detect and find the solution to the limitations,object tracking process will be successful without any lacunas.
Techniques for Detection and Tracking of Multiple Objects
2017
During the past decade, object detection and object tracking in videos have received a great deal of attention from the research community in view of their many applications, such as human activity recognition, human computer interaction, crowd scene analysis, video surveillance, sports video analysis, autonomous vehicle navigation, driver assistance systems, and traffic management. Object detection and object tracking face a number of challenges such as variation in scale, appearance, view of the objects, as well as occlusion, and changes in illumination and environmental conditions. Object tracking has some other challenges such as similar appearance among multiple targets and long-term occlusion, which may cause failure in tracking. Detection-based tracking techniques use an object detector for guiding the tracking process. However, existing object detectors usually suffer from detection errors, which may mislead the trackers, if used for tracking. Thus, improving the performance...
Multiple Object Detection and Tracking: A Survey
2018
Multiple Object Tracking is the process of locating multiple objects over time in a video stream. Object detection and classification are two prior steps before performing tracking over video scene. Object detection is the process of locating an object of interest in a single frame. So, in other words we can say that multiple object tracking is the process of associating detected objects in consecutive video frames. The detected objects may belong to various categories such as vehicles, humans, swaying trees or other moving objects. So, object classification is the process to classify these objects using different approaches. However, some object tracking applications may not need to classify detected objects. In this paper, we had discussed various object detection and tracking methods, which are available in the literature.

It is a challenging problem. There are many difficulties arises in tracking the objects due to abrupt object motion, changing appearance patterns of both foreground and background scene, non-rigid object structures, object-to-object and object-to-scene occlusions, and camera motion. This paper selectively gives the reviews to research papers for object detection and tracking methods.
This report presents the work conducted during the semester project. We built and present a real-time multi-people tracker, which is based on the Kalman Filter. The input to the software is a Probabilistic Occupancy Map of the observed area. The main goal of the project was to incorporate this tracker to the real-time detection software available on the CVLab demo room. A standalone version was also built. The algorithm exploits appearance cues to prevent identity switches. Instead of computing the appearance difference in a frame-by-frame manner, an appearance model is initially built when an individual enters the scene and is afterwards matched against the detected people. The frame-by-frame spatial tracking of the Kalman Filter makes the algorithm computationally efficient and the appearance model matching increases the robustness. The experiments performed in the demo room show that the method is satisfactory. We also validate our algorithm on a few datasets and the results prove that the method can be used in many scenarios. In certain datasets it even outperforms the state-of-the-art method while it's one to two orders of magnitude faster.

Multiple object tracking is a difficult task, especifically when there is not an explicit model of the object being tracked or when it is not possible to estimate the background of the scene. This paper proposes a novel approach for multiple target tracking. It works without background information and uses an original method that merges colour and depth information. The fusion of both pieces of information is created taking into account a confidence measure about the depth information. The method proposed employs a multiple particle filter approach in which particle weights are modified by an interaction factor in order to avoid the ''coalescence" problem. In addition, the method performs as a pure colour-based technique when no disparity information is available, and takes advantage of depth information to enhance tracking whenever it is possible. Our technique is compared with two pure colour-based tracking approaches (the particle filtering method proposed by Nummiaro et al. [Nummiaro, K., Koller-Meier, E., Van Gool, L., 2003. An adaptive color-based particle filter. Image and Vision Computing, 21, 99-110] and the Kalman/meanshift tracker . Mean shift and optimal prediction for efficient object tracking. In: IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP'00), vol. 3, pp. 70-73]) and a pure stereobased approach derived from our problem formulation. The performance of the four algorithms is tested using several colour-with-depth sequences of images showing different coloured targets in complex situations. The results show that our proposal is able to track the targets in case of complex backgrounds and to properly determine the size of their projections in the camera image (while the other methods fail). Besides, the proposed method is fast enough for real-time applications and the use of 3D information helps to track several targets simultaneously without confusing their identities.
In PC vision, the most dynamic exploration points are visual reconnaissance in element scenes, particularly for people & vehicles. Wide range of promising applications incorporating human identification at some distance, controlling access in extraordinary ranges, measurements of group flux and investigating blockage or odd particles and for the utilization of numerous cameras intelligent reconnaissance and so much more. Visual observations in element scenes in the handling system incorporates various taking after stages i.e. characterization of moving item, depiction of the comprehensive particles, identifying the movement, displaying the whole situation, proof of human identification, at the end combining the information from different cameras. There are mixes of 2D & 3D images, therefore recognizing abnormalities and conducting forecast so that substance based recovery of reconnaissance features can be done. There are more things to understand about these like, common dialect portrayal, data combination from various sensors.
Various Methods for Object Tracking-A Review
The object tracking is the technique which is used to track object from the image or from the video. The video consists of multiple frames and in each frame location of that object had been predicted. To predict location of the object technique of probability has been applied and this technique works on single object. In this paper, improvement has been proposed in probability based technique to track multiple objects from the video. The proposed technique had been implemented in MATLAB. The graphical results show that proposed technique works well in terms of detection rate.
TRACKING MULTI-TARGETS WITH UNIFIED HANDLING OF VIDEO
Data association is an essential component of the human detection and tracking system. The majority of the existing methods, such as Bi-partite matching and GMCP methods are incorporated the limited-temporal-locality of the sequence into data association problem. GMCP tracker is considered as an important complete representation of the tracking problem, where all pair wise relationships between the detections in temporal span of a video is considered and makes the input to the data association as a complete Bi-partite graph. In Bi-partite graph a track of a person will form a clique (a subgraph in which all the nodes are connected to each other). A cost is assigned to each clique and it maximizes the score function, which is selected as the best clique (track), but it is sub-optimal. GMCP tracker does not follow the joint optimization for all the tracks simultaneously and finds the tracks one by one which makes difficulties caused by cluttered background, and crowded scenes to detect and tracking Tracking-by-detection methods are used to track multiple targets with unified handling of complex scenarios, where current detection responses are linked to the previous trajectories. By adding the standard Hungarian algorithm, dummy nodes to each trajectory to allow nodes to temporally disappear and solve the data association implicitly in a global manner even though it is formulated between two consecutive frames. If a trajectory fails to find its matching detection, it is linked to its corresponding dummy nodes until its emergence of matching detection. The source nodes are also incorporated into the account of new targets. The dummy nodes tend to accumulate in fake or disappeared trajectories while they occasionally appear in real trajectories and improve detection inevitable failures, which include the miss detection, the false detection and the occlusion, where an object is partially or fully invisible because of the limited camera view. Extended hybrid Hungarian algorithm is relatively better when compared with GMCP and Hybrid Hungarian algorithm in accuracy. Experiments show that the proposed method makes significant improvement in tracking and detection of different length of videos, specifically with short length videos.
