Corrected Background-weighted Histogram Mean Shift Tracking Algorithm Based on Adaptive Bandwidth

Abstract:

The CBWH (corrected background-weighted histogram) scheme can effectively reduce backgrounds interference in target localization. But it still has the problem of scale and spatial localization inaccuracy. To solve the above issues, we proposed a method which generates a color probability distribution by taking advantage of the targets salient features. In the binary image, we calculate the invariant moment and thus to resize the tracking window of the next frame. A simple background-weighted model updating method is adopted to adapt to the complex background in tracking. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the robustness of object tracking by self-adaptive kernel-bandwidth updating.
