Article Preview

Abstract:

When the background is complex and there is a lot color similar pixel interference, it may lead to location and size of Camshift algorithm’s search window abnormal so as to tracking failure. Aiming at these problems, this paper proposed a algorithm that combinating Camshift algorithm and Kalman filter. Kalman filter can predict the position of the moving object. Camshift algorithm adjusted the position and size of search window by using the prediction, so as to ensure the correct operation of the Camshift algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively overcome the large area of similar color background and occlusion and many colors similar moving targets interference and other issues, improve the accuracy and robustness of target tracking algorithm.
