Vision-based target point tracking and aiming method

Purpose Laser absolute distance measurement has the characteristics of high precision, wide range and non-contact. In laser ranging system, tracking and aiming measurement point is the precondition of automatic measurement. To solve this problem, this paper aims to propose a novel method. Design/methodology/approach For the central point of the hollow angle coupled mirror, this paper proposes a method based on correlation filtering and ellipse fitting. For non-cooperative target points, this paper proposes an extraction method based on correlation filtering and feature matching. Finally, a visual tracking and aiming system was constructed by combining the two-axis turntable, and experiments were carried out. Findings The target tracking algorithm has an accuracy of 91.15% and a speed of 19.5 frames per second. The algorithm can adapt to the change of target scale and short-term occlusion. The mean error and standard deviation of the center point extraction of the hollow Angle coupling mirror are 0.20 and 0.09 mm. The mean error and standard deviation of feature points matching for non-cooperative target were 0.06 mm and 0.16 mm. The visual tracking and aiming system can track a target running at a speed of 0.7 m/s, aiming error mean is 1.74 pixels and standard deviation is 0.67 pixel. Originality/value The results show that this method can achieve fast and high precision target tracking and aiming and has great application value in laser ranging.

Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Adaptive Scale Detection Learning

In this paper, to better solve the problem of low tracking accuracy caused by the sudden change of target scale, we design and propose an adaptive scale mutation tracking algorithm using a deep learning network to detect the target first and then track it using the kernel correlation filtering method and verify the effectiveness of the model through experiments. The improvement point of this paper is to change the traditional kernel correlation filtering algorithm to detect and track at the same time and to combine deep learning with traditional kernel correlation filtering tracking to apply in the process of target tracking; the addition of deep learning network not only can learn more accurate feature representation but also can more effectively cope with the low resolution of video sequences, so that the algorithm in the case of scale mutation achieves more accurate target tracking in the case of scale mutation. To verify the effectiveness of this method in the case of scale mutation, four evaluation criteria, namely, average accuracy, cross-ratio accuracy, temporal robustness, and spatial robustness, are combined to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm in the case of scale mutation. The experimental results verify that the joint detection strategy plays a good role in correcting the tracking drift caused by the subsequent abrupt change of the target scale and the effectiveness of the adaptive template update strategy. By adaptively changing the number of interval frames of neural network redetection to improve the tracking performance, the tracking speed is improved after the fusion of correlation filtering and neural network, and the combination of both is promoted for better application in target tracking tasks.

Robust Visual Tracking Based on Convolutional Sparse Coding

This paper proposes a new visual tracking method by constructing the robust appearance model of the target with convolutional sparse coding. First, our method uses convolutional sparse coding to divide the interest region of the target into a smooth image and four detail images with different fitting degrees. Second, we compute the initial target region by tracking the smooth image with the kernel correlation filtering. We define an appearance model to describe the details of the target based on the initial target region and the combination of four detail images. Third, we propose a matching method by the overlap rate and Euclidean distance to evaluate candidates and the appearance model to compute the tracking results based on detail images. Finally, the two tracking results are separately computed by the smooth image, and the detail images are combined to produce the final target rectangle. Many experiments on videos from Tracking Benchmark 2015 demonstrate that our method produces much better results than most of the present visual tracking methods.
