Moving Target Tracking Using Sparse Optical Flow Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Moving target tracking is a hot research spot of computer vision and applied in various fields. In this paper, a new tracking method base on sparse optical flow is put forward. In this method, targets are tracked through calculating the movements of Harris corner points, rather than the movements of all pixel points. Experiments results show that the tracking effect of this new method is pretty good. Tracking accuracy can reach more than 80% in most experimental conditions. And according to other peoples research production, experiments based on dense optical flow are done to compare with the new method proposed in this paper. The comparison results show that the new method has high calculation efficiency. This indicates that the method has feasibility and practical value.
