Shape based moving object tracking with particle filter
Md Zahidul Islam, Chil-Woo Lee · 2008
In this paper, we depict a new approach for moving object tracking with particle filter by shape information. The shape similarity between a template and estimated regions in the video scene is measured by their normalized cross-correlation of distance transformed image. Our observation system of particle filter is based on shape from distance transformed edge features. Template is created instantly by selecting any object from the video scene by a rectangle. Experimental results have been presented to show the effectiveness of our proposed system.
