In recent years, the Mean shift algorithm has extensive applications in the field of video tracking. It has some advantages of low cost, small memory, and good tracking effect. However, there are some shortcomings in the existing algorithm; for example, it cannot produce adaptive changes as the target size changes. And when there are similar objects, it is prone to target positioning errors and tracking failures caused by occlusion. In this paper, an improved method of continuous adaptive change Mean shift (Camshift) for high-precision positioning and tracking is proposed. The traditional Camshift method only uses hue components in HSV to extract features. This paper uses the combination of H and S components in HSV space to build a two-dimensional color feature histogram and with the image’s LBP feature histogram to increase tracking accuracy. Meanwhile, for the sake of target occlusion and nonlinear changes in the tracking process, this paper introduces a Gaussian-Hermit particle filter that is updated by the Kalman filter. Experimental result demonstrates that the real-time performance of the proposal in this paper is better than Mean shift, Camshift, simple particle filter, and Kalman filter.

Camshift, namely "Continuously Adaptive Mean-Shift" algorithm, is an adaptive tracking algorithm. This algorithm is based on the color information to track the moving target in image sequence. In the simple background, this algorithm achieved a steady and current tracking effect. But in dynamic scene, the global motion caused by the camera, the background of the light and occlusion will affect the accuracy, or even lose the tracking of the target. In order to solve the above problem, this paper adjust the H component in HSV color space, as well use weighted color histogram to improve the Camshift algorithm, then combined with Kalman filter to track the target in the image sequence. The experimental result shows that this approach can track object stability and correctly in dynamic scene.

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.

Target tracking algorithm mean-shift and kalman filter does well in tracking target. However, mean-shift algorithm may not do well in tracking the target which the size of target is changing gradually. Although some scholars put forward by 10% of the positive and negative incremental to scale adaptive,the algorithm can not be applied to track the target which gradually becomes bigger. In this paper, we propose registration corners of the target of the two adjacent frames, then calculate the distance ratio of registration corners.Use the distance ratio to determine the target becomes larger or smaller. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better compared with the recent algorithms.

In order to improve the real-time character of missile radiator tracking and solve the predicting tracking problem when missile radiator shortly shelter or missing, it introduces moving target predicting and tracking technology. According to the predicting and tracking method, it proposes three predicting and tracking overall schemes of missile radiator based on Kalman filtering and improved Mean-Shift algorithm. Also it compares the real-time character of three kinds of schemes. According to the trajectory character of missile radiator, it constructs Kalman filter. The experiment results indicate that by using Kalman filtering technology, there are improvements in real-time character and shortly shelter or missing problem can be solved well. It plays a certain compensation function to the whole system.

For the issue of limited filtering accuracy of interactive multiple model particle filter algorithm caused by the resampling particles don't contain the latest observation information, we made improvements on interactive multiple model particle filter algorithm in this paper based on mixed kalman particle filter algorithm. Interactive multiple model particle filter algorithm is proposed. In addition, the composed methods influence to tracking accuracy are discussed. In the new algorithm the system state estimation is generated with unscented kalman filter (UKF) first and then use the extended kalman filter (EKF) to get the proposal distribution of the particles, taking advantage of the measure information to update the particles' state. We compare and analyze the target tracking performance of the proposed algorithm of IMM-MKPF in this paper, IMM-UPF and IMM-EPF through the simulation experiment. The results show that the tracking accuracy of the proposed algorithm is superior to other two algorithms. Thus, the new method in this paper is effective. The method is of important to improve tracking accuracy further for maneuvering target tracking under the non-linear and non-Gaussian circumstances.

Abstract In this paper, a joint gesture tracking method combining particle filter and mean shift algorithm is proposed to improve the accuracy and robustness of the system. During the slow movement of the human hand, the average movement of the particles is first used to cause most of the particles to drift into the gesture area. In the case where the movement of the human hand is faster or there is occlusion, when the mean shift of the particle is performed, if the region of the gesture is not detected, the particle will return to the state before the drift, and then the next frame is processed. The method can directly calculate the position of the gesture based on the particles used for subsequent testing, and can save the tracking time of the algorithm. Through experimental simulation, compared with the Cam-shift algorithm, when the sampling point of the joint tracking algorithm proposed in this paper is 200, the tracking accuracy is improved to 95.2%. Compared with 90.6% of the Cam-shift algorithm, the tracking time is reduced from 83.7 ms to 25.8 ms. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can greatly improve the tracking accuracy and real-time, and can also effectively reduce the impact of complex environments on the tracking effect.

Visible light positioning (VLP) is a promising technology for indoor navigation. However, most studies of VLP systems nowadays only focus on positioning accuracy, whereas robustness and real-time ability are often overlooked, which are all indispensable in actual VLP situations. Thus, we propose a novel VLP method based on mean shift (MS) algorithm and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) using image sensors as the positioning terminal and a Light Emitting Diode (LED) as the transmitting terminal. The main part of our VLP method is the MS algorithm, realizing high positioning accuracy with good robustness. Besides, UKF equips the mean shift algorithm with the capacity to track high-speed targets and improves the positioning accuracy when the LED is shielded. Moreover, a LED-ID (the identification of the LED) recognition algorithm proposed in our previous work was utilized to locate the LED in the initial frame, which also initialized MS and UKF. Furthermore, experiments showed that the positioning accuracy of our VLP algorithm was 0.42 cm, and the average processing time per frame was 24.93 ms. Also, even when half of the LED was shielded, the accuracy was maintained at 1.41 cm. All these data demonstrate that our proposed algorithm has excellent accuracy, strong robustness, and good real-time ability.
