An Improved Moving Object Tracking Method Based on Graph Cuts

In order to improve efficiency of object tracking in occlusion states. A method to detect and automatically track was present in a surveillance system. Firstly, a graph cuts method was employed to segment image from a static scene. To identify foreground objects by positions and sizes of the obtained foreground regions. In addition, the performance to track objects was improved by using the improved overlap tracking method, the tracking method was used to analyze the centroid distance between neighboring objects and help object tracking in occlusion states of merging and splitting. By the experiments of moving object tracking in three video sequences, the experimental results exhibit that the proposed method is better than the traditional method.
