چکیده

The GPU, as a data-parallel processor architecture, needs an independent-data (parallelizable) processing model in order to provide the best performance. One of the most popular methods for visual tracking is the Particle Filter (PF) algorithm. The PF algorithm enables the modeling of a stochastic process with an arbitrary probability density function by approximating it numerically with a weighted set of samples called particles. Those particles are independent one from each other, and thus, PF becomes ideal for the GPU computation model.

A Novel Particle Filter based Object Tracking Framework via the Combination of State and Observation Optimization

Using particle filter to figure visual object tracking, a key problem is to choose appropriate image features as the observation model. In this paper, we present a novel particle filter based object tracking framework via the combination of state and observation optimization. We apply the technique to articulated human movement tracking. Result demonstrates the effectiveness of our method in so...

Visual tracking using Particle Filter and Monte Carlo Markov Chain

Tracking is an important processing step for many single and multi-camera applications such as sports video analysis, traffic monitoring and event detection. In the first part of the paper, we present a framework of visual tracking using first-order Markov state-space model. We subsequently use Sequential importance Sampling method to estimate the posterior density and obtain the firstorder par...

Enhanced Importance Sampling: Unscented Auxiliary Particle Filtering for Visual Tracking

The particle filter has attracted considerable attention in visual tracking due to its relaxation of the linear and Gaussian restrictions in the state space model. It is thus more flexible than the Kalman filter. However, the conventional particle filter uses system transition as the proposal distribution, leading to poor sampling efficiency and poor performance in visual tracking. It is not a ...

Speaker Tracking Using an Audio-visual Particle Filter

We present an approach for tracking a lecturer during the course of his speech. We use features from multiple cameras and microphones, and process them in a joint particle filter framework. The filter performs sampled projections of 3D location hypotheses and scores them using features from both audio and video. On the video side, the features are based on foreground segmentation, multi-view fa...

A New Modified Particle Filter With Application in Target Tracking

The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...
