Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multiple target tracking method, more particularly, to a multiple target tracking method using distance information of a target, feature information-based Kalman filter, and joint probability data-association (JPDA) method. According to the present invention, a JPDA method generates not only normalized distance squared (NDS) distance information but also an effective matrix through dual conditions based on the correlation information of an image. By using this, the identification of other objects, which closely exist, can be possible and the complexity decreases as the number of cases which are taken into account decrease.

The present invention relates to a super-resolution-based high-precision video tracking method for a video tracker, and a high-precision video tracking apparatus using the same. The high-precision video tracking method comprises the steps of: extracting a target image from a input image (t-1) and determining the size of the extracted target image; performing a first interpolation of creating 1/2 subpixels and a second interpolation of creating 1/4 subpixels, according to the determined size of the target image; selecting one among a target image created by pixels, a target image created by the first interpolation or a target image created by the second interpolation according to the determined size of the target image and updating a reference image; extracting, from a current input image (t), a search area set to find a target image and determining the size of the extracted search area; performing the first and second interpolations according to the determined size of the search area; and selecting one among the search area created by pixels, a search area created by the first interpolation, and a search area created by the second interpolation according to the size of the updated reference image, matching the selected one with a corresponding reference image, and determining the location of a target in the search area. Accordingly, the present invention can improve real-time properties by minimizing load according to the generation of a super-resolution image while enhancing the accuracy of displacement calculation of a target by amplifying only high-frequency components of the target except for a background.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a target acquisition method for an image tracking system which tracks the trace of a target by acquiring and analyzing image information of the target and a target acquisition apparatus using the same. The target acquisition method includes the following steps of: (a) Gaussian-filtering an input image and generating a gradient contour image of a target through gradient magnitude conversion; (b) generating a cumulative and positive difference of edges (PDOE) at a frame interval, accumulating the generated PDOE images, and producing an accumulated PDOE image; (c) detecting a cell which the target belongs to by measuring the change quantity of a pixel at a cell unit in the accumulated PDOE image by using a half-grid search; and (d) designating the detected cell as a candidate cell in case an average pixel value of the detected cell is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value and determining the effectiveness of the detected cell by using the number of the candidate cells. By the aforementioned, the present invention improves a real-time target acquisition and reliability because the noise of a difference image is minimized, and a response time is shortened by using the technology of the half-grid search and the accumulated PDOE made by changing an existing detection algorithm and the PDOE.
