Xia Liu, Hongxia Chu, Pingjun Li · 2007
In this paper it will introduce the improved Camshift algorithm based on the Kalman filter, which is applied to track a moving target. Improved Camshift algorithm is a algorithm that H, S and V components space is used to track a moving target in HSV space. The next position of the moving object is estimated by the Kalman. According to H and S and V, it can be appropriate to determine the track of moving target. The algorithm effectively overcomes the shortcoming of the traditional Camshift algorithm. For example, it is easy to solve the divergence problem during the tracking. Finally, the usefulness of algorithm is validated by experiment.
