- Abstract
Object detection and tracking is an important task within the field of computer vision, because of its promising application in many areas, such as video surveillance. The need for automated video analysis has generated a great deal of interest in the area of motion tracking. A new technique is proposed for online object tracking‐by‐detection capable of achieving high detection and tracking rates, using a stationary camera, in a particle filtering framework. The fundamental innovation is that the detection technique integrates the local binary pattern texture feature, the red green blue (RGB) colour feature and the Sobel edge feature, using 'Choquet' fuzzy integral to avoid uncertainty in the classification. This is performed by extracting the colour and edge grey scale confidence maps and introducing the texture confidence map. Then, the tracking technique makes use of the continuous confidence detectors, extracted from those confidence maps, along with another three introduced classifier confidence maps, extracted from an online boosting classifier. Finally, both the confidence detectors and the classifier maps are integrated in the particle filtering framework, using the Choquet integral. Experimental results for both indoor and outdoor dataset sequences confirmed the robustness of the proposed technique against illumination variation and scene motion.
