基于块的Mean-shift跟踪算法

针对传统Mean-shift跟踪算法在目标发生遮挡和形态变化时跟踪性能下降的缺点,提出了一种基于块的Mean-shift跟踪算法,该算法主要特点有：(1)将跟踪目标平均分块,每小块独立进行传统Mean-shift跟踪,利用小块跟踪未被遮挡的目标部分;(2)跟踪检测器检测目标小块跟踪的有效性,筛选出无效跟踪的目标小块,解决了目标分块造成跟踪性能下降的问题;(3)归一化互相关检测器和邻域一致检测增加了对目标空间信息的检测,弥补了Mean-shift算法的局限性,增加了跟踪的鲁棒性。实验表明,该算法在目标发生遮挡和形态变化时仍然可以有效的实现跟踪。

Experiment and analysis on microscopic characteristics of pedestrian movement in building bottleneck

In this paper, evacuation experiments are carried out to study pedestrian movement behaviors in building bottleneck. An image processing method based on mean-shift algorithm is used to extract pedestrian movement trajectory. Based on the extracted trajectory, we analyze the microscopic movement characteristics of pedestrians such as lane formation, change of velocity and distance between two sequential pedestrians. A pedestrian lane is a group of pedestrians moving in a column. The lane formation is verifie...     

Joint face and head tracking inside multi-camera smart rooms

The paper introduces a novel detection and tracking system that provides both frame-view and world-coordinate human location information, based on video from multiple synchronized and calibrated cameras with overlapping fields of view. The system is developed and evaluated for the specific scenario of a seminar lecturer presenting in front of an audience inside a “smart room”, its aim being to track the lecturer’s head centroid in the three-dimensional (3D) space and also yield two-dimensional (2D) face information in the available camera views. The proposed approach is primarily based on a statistical appearance model of human faces by means of well-known AdaBoost-like face detectors, extended to address the head pose variation observed in the smart room scenario of interest. The appearance module is complemented by two novel components and assisted by a simple tracking drift detection mechanism. The first component of interest is the initialization module, which employs a spatio-temporal dynamic programming approach with appropriate penalty functions to obtain optimal 3D location hypotheses. The second is an adaptive subspace learning based 2D tracking scheme with a novel forgetting mechanism, introduced to reduce tracking drift and increase robustness. System performance is benchmarked on an extensive database of realistic human interaction in the lecture smart room scenario, collected as part of the European integrated project “CHIL”. The system consistently achieves excellent tracking precision, with a 3D mean tracking error of less than 16 cm, and is demonstrated to outperform four alternative tracking schemes. Furthermore, the proposed system performs relatively well in detecting frontal and near-frontal faces in the available frame views. This work was performed while Zhenqiu Zhang was on a summer internship with the Human Language Technology Department at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.     

Deletion, replacement and mean-shift for diagnostics in linear mixed models

Deletion, replacement and mean-shift model are three approaches frequently used to detect influential observations and outliers. For general linear model with known covariance matrix, it is known that these three approaches lead to the same update formulae for the estimates of the regression coefficients. However if the covariance matrix is indexed by some unknown parameters which also need to be estimated, the situation is unclear. In this paper, we show under a common subclass of linear mixed models that the three approaches are no longer equivalent. For maximum likelihood estimation, replacement is equivalent to mean-shift model but both are not equivalent to case deletion. For restricted maximum likelihood estimation, mean-shift model is equivalent to case deletion but both are not equivalent to replacement. We also demonstrate with real data that misuse of replacement and mean-shift model in place of case deletion can lead to incorrect results.

遥感影像多尺度分割中最优尺度的选取及评价

多尺度分割是面向对象图像分析技术的前提和关键,多尺度分割的质量直接影响着面向对象分类的精度,但尺度选择仍然是多尺度分割中的一个难题。针对此问题,根据遥感影像的最优分割尺度与影像上目标复杂度密切相关的事实,提出了一种自上而下基于分割对象复杂度选取最优尺度的方法。该方法在分割过程中,提取每一对象的影像特征构建其复杂度函数,通过设置阈值,经迭代计算来确定每一对象的最优分割尺度,进而得到具有全局最优尺度的分割结果,并将其应用于ZY-3多光谱数据和GF-2融合影像,得到分割和分类结果。并将其与单一最优尺度和非监督评价法的分割及分类结果进行比较,结果表明：该方法能够获取与地面目标相匹配的分割尺度,改善了分割效果,提高了分类精度,具有一定实用价值。     

基于Mean-shift的改进目标跟踪算法

传统的Mean-shift目标跟踪算法对背景因素比较敏感,采用核加权直方图的方法计算目标模板与候选区域目标特征往往无法实现对运动目标的准确定位。在研究传统算法的基础上,改进了Mean-shift算法中目标特征选取机制,即目标模板采用背景加权,候选目标区域采用核加权。仿真结果表明,该方法实现了在复杂环境背景下对运动目标更加准确的跟踪。

基于改进的Mean-shift驾驶员人脸跟踪算法研究

为了实现对驾驶员人脸实时跟踪,提出了一种改进的Mean-shift算法。首先对人脸提取类Haar特征,使用类Haar特征构造弱分类器,然后根据样本的权值分布构造出强分类器,形成人脸检测分类器;由于光照变化等因素的影响,引入红外主动照明模式,通过隔离可见光照,基本上消除了光照变化对人脸检测造成的影响;针对Mean-shift算法在被跟踪目标发生快速移动时容易跟踪失败的缺点,改进了Mean-shift算法：当目标发生快速移动时,采用SSD（Sum of Square Dif-ference）算法进行全局搜索。以实际驾驶员人脸检测与跟踪实验为例进行了大量实验,提出的方法比Mean-shift算法的速度快、准确度高。
