OBJECT TRACKING APPARATUS, OBJECT TRACKING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18136585 Titled 'OBJECT TRACKING APPARATUS, OBJECT TRACKING METHOD, AND PROGRAM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an object tracking apparatus that aims to improve accuracy in tracking a target in a sequence of images. The apparatus includes an image acquisition section, a detection section, a decision section, and an identification section. The image acquisition section acquires images from the sequence. The detection section detects an object region in the image and calculates an evaluation value related to that region. The decision section determines the degree to which appearance similarity between the object and the tracking target should be considered among different types of similarity. Finally, the identification section uses the decision result to identify the correspondence between the object region and the tracking target.
Original Abstract Submitted
In order to attain an example object of further improving accuracy in tracking a tracking target in an image sequence, an object tracking apparatus includes: an image acquisition section of acquiring an image from an image sequence; a detection section of detecting an object region including an object from the image, and calculating an evaluation value related to the object region; a decision section of deciding, in accordance with the evaluation value, to what degree appearance similarity based on appearance features of the object and the tracking target is referred to among a plurality of types of similarity used to associate the object region with a tracking target in the image sequence; and an identification section of referring to at least any of the plurality of types of similarity based on a decision result to identify a correspondence between the object region and the tracking target.
