Motion Vector–Guided Object Detection and Tracking for Smart Surveillance Systems
View PDF Abstract
Multiple moving object detection and tracking are challenging roles in many computer vision applications such as object navigation and human identification. Object tracking is one of the key challenges for securing against crime, supporting public safety, and enabling effective traffic management systems. In video surveillance applications, detection of multiple moving vehicles from video is the major task for tracking and understanding the behavior of the detected objects. Performance of object detection algorithms is degraded by factors such as fog or haze, occlusion, dynamic background, poor illumination, and low resolution. Fog is one of the major bottlenecks of video surveillance applications. The proposed Dark Channel Prior algorithm using guided filter (GDCP) is adapted for fog removal. The Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is proposed for detecting multiple moving objects, and features are extracted from the detected objects using Motion Vector Estimation. The K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm is used for tracking the moving objects (vehicles) using the detected features. Efficiency is improved due to the adoption of the proposed fog-removal algorithm and feature extraction for effective tracking. There are wide varieties of applications in moving object detection and tracking.
