Video Tracking

Beschreibung

Video Tracking provides a comprehensive treatment of thefundamental aspects of algorithm and application development forthe task of estimating, over time, the position of objects ofinterest seen through cameras. Starting from the general problemdefinition and a review of existing and emerging video trackingapplications, the book discusses popular methods, such as thosebased on correlation and gradient-descent. Using practicalexamples, the reader is introduced to the advantages andlimitations of deterministic approaches, and is then guided towardmore advanced video tracking solutions, such as those based on theBayes' recursive framework and on Random Finite Sets. Key features: * Discusses the design choices and implementation issues requiredto turn the underlying mathematical models into a real-worldeffective tracking systems. * Provides block diagrams and simil-code implementation of thealgorithms. * Reviews methods to evaluate the performance of video trackers- this is identified as a major problem by end-users. The book aims to help researchers and practitioners developtechniques and solutions based on the potential of video trackingapplications. The design methodologies discussed throughout thebook provide guidelines for developers in the industry working onvision-based applications. The book may also serve as a referencefor engineering and computer science graduate students involved invision, robotics, human-computer interaction, smart environmentsand virtual reality programmes

"The design methodologies discussed throughout the book provide guidelines for developers in the industry working on vision-based applications. The book may also serve as a reference for engineering and computer science graduate students involved in vision, robotics, human-computer interaction, smart environments and virtual reality programs." (Zentralblatt MATH, 2011) "While technical, the text is clearly written and supported by exceptional illustrations." (Booknews, 1 June 2011)
