Though there have been many applications of object tracking, ranging from surveillance and monitoring to smart rooms, object tracking is always a challenging problem in computer vision over the past decades. Mean Shift-based object tracking has received much attention because it has a great number of advantages over other object tracking algorithms, e.g. real time, robust and easy to implement. In this survey, we first introduce the basic principle of the Mean Shift algorithm and the working procedure using the Mean Shift algorithm to track the object. This paper then describes the defects and potential issues of the traditional Mean Shift algorithm. Finally, we summarize the improvements to the Mean Shift algorithm and some hybrid tracking algorithms that researchers have proposed. The main improvements include scale adaptation, kernel selection, on-line model updating, feature selection and mode optimization, etc.

Adaboost Classifier

An object tracking framework based on adaboost and Mean-Shift for image sequence was proposed in the manuscript. The object rectangle and scene rectangle in the initial image of the sequence were drawn and then, labeled the pixel data in the two rectangles with 1 and 0. Trained the adaboost classifier by the pixel data and the corresponding labels. The obtained classifier was improved to be a 5 class classifier and employed to classify the data in the same scene region of next image. The confidence map including 5 values was got. The Mean-Shift algorithm is performed in the confidence map area to get the final object position. The rectangles of object and background were moved to the new position. The object rectangle was zoomed by 5 percent to adapt the object scale changing. The process including drawing rectangle, training, classification, orientation and zooming would be repeated until the end of the image sequence. The experiments result showed that the proposed algorithm is efficient for nonrigid object orientation in the dynamic scene.

Partial occlusion and non-rigid variation are challenging problems in object tracking. To address this problem, robust gradient part-based models are proposed for object tracking in this paper. Our models constructed multiple well-chosen parts based on the gradient energy map of the object. And the local optimization algorithm, mean shift, is used to search the best locations of the multiple parts, which can be used to rectify the location of the tracked object by weighted feedback. Meanwhile, the models of the root and parts are updated online, which can improve tracking accuracy and robustness. Further, our models are easy to be embedded into different tracking algorithms and we implement the mean shift based on gradient part-based models. Experiments results show that our gradient part-based models are robust enough for object tracking, even though the objects are non-rigid or occluded.

Simulation Results

Object tracking has been researched for many years as an important topic in machine learning, robot vision and many other fields. Over the years, various tracking methods are proposed and developed in order to gain a better tracking effect. Among them the mean-shift algorithm turns out to be robust and accurate compared other algorithms after different kinds of tests. But due to its limitations, the changes in scale and rotational motion of an object cannot be effectively processed. This problem occurs when the object of interest moves towards or away from the video camera. Improving over the previously proposed method such as scale and orientation adaptive mean shift tracking, which performs well with scaling change but not for the rotation, in this paper, the proposed method modifies the continuously adaptive mean shift tracking method so that it can handle effectively for changes in size and rotation in motion, simultaneously. The simulation results yield a successful tracking of moving objects even when the object undergoes scaling in size and rotation in motion in comparison to the conventional ones.

Snowboarding is a kind of sport that takes snowboarding as a tool, swivels and glides rapidly on the specified slope line, and completes all kinds of difficult actions in the air. Because the sport is in the state of high-speed movement, it is difficult to direct guidance during the sport, which is not conducive to athletes to find problems and correct them, so it is necessary to track the target track of snowboarding. The target tracking algorithm is the main solution to this task, but there are many problems in the existing target tracking algorithm that have not been solved, especially the target tracking accuracy in complex scenes is insufficient. Therefore, based on the advantages of the mean shift algorithm and Kalman algorithm, this paper proposes a better tracking algorithm for snowboard moving targets. In the method designed in this paper, in order to solve the problem, a multi-algorithm fusion target tracking algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the SIFT feature algorithm is used for rough matching to determine the fuzzy position of the target. Then, the good performance of the mean shift algorithm is used to further match the target position and determine the exact position of the target. Finally, the Kalman filtering algorithm is used to further improve the target tracking algorithm to solve the template trajectory prediction under occlusion and achieve the target trajectory tracking algorithm design of snowboarding.
