Abstract

Object tracking is an important part in surveillance systems, One of the algorithms used for this task is the meanshift algorithm due to the robustness, computational efficiency and implementation ease. However the traditional meanshift cannot effectively track the moving object when the scale changes, because of the fixed size of the tracking window, and can lose the target while an occlusion, In this study a method based on the trajectory direction of the moving object is presented to deal with the problem of scale change. Furthermore a histogram similarity metric is used to detect when target occlusion occurs, and a method based on multi kernel is proposed, to estimate which part is not in occlusion and this part will be used to extrapolate the motion of the object and gives an estimation of its position, Experimental results show that the improved methods have a good adaptability to the scale and occlusion of the target.
