3D Person Tracking with a Color-Based Particle Filter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Person tracking is a key requirement for modern service robots. But methods for robot vision have to fulfill several constraints: they have to be robust to errors evoked by noisy sensor data, they have to be able to work under realworld conditions, and they have to be fast and computationally inexpensive. In this paper we present an approach for tracking the position of a person in 3D based on a particle filter. In our framework, each particle represents a hypothesis for the 3D position, velocity and size of the person’s head being tracked. Two cameras are used for the evaluation of the particles. The particles are weighted by projecting them onto the camera image and applying a color-based perception model. This model uses skin color cues for face tracking and color histograms for body tracking. In contrast to feature-based approaches, our system even works when the person is temporary or partially occluded.

An Efficient Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Particle Filter and Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid Particle Filter (PF) algorithm for video tracking by employing a genetic algorithm to solve the sample impoverishment problem. In the presented method, the object to be tracked is selected by a rectangular window inside which a few numbers of particles are scattered. The particles’ weights are calculated based on the similarity between feature vecto...

متن کاملImage Driven Generation of Pose Hypotheses for 3D Model-based Tracking
Tracking an object's 3D position and orientation from a color image can been accomplished with particle filters if its color and shape properties are known. Unfortunately, initialization in particle filters is often manual or random, thus rendering the tracking recovery process slow or no longer autonomous. A method that uses image data to generate likely pose hypotheses for known objects is pr...
متن کاملMulti-person Tracking Strategies Based on Voxel Analysis
This paper presents two approaches to the problem of simultaneous tracking of several people in low resolution sequences from multiple calibrated cameras. Spatial redundancy is exploited to generate a discrete 3D binary representation of the foreground objects in the scene. Color information obtained from the zenithal view is added to this 3D information. The first tracking approach implements ...
