Dual approach for object tracking based on optical flow and swarm intelligence
In Computer Vision,object tracking is a very old and complex problem.Though there are several existing algorithms for object tracking, still there are several challenges remain to be solved. For instance, variation of illumination of light, noise, occlusion, sudden start and stop of moving object, shading etc,make the object tracking a complex problem not only for dynamic background but also for static background. In this paper we propose a dual approach for object tracking based on optical flow and swarm Intelligence.The optical flow based KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) tracker, tracks the dominant points of the target object from first frame to last frame of a video sequence;whereas swarm Intelligence based PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) tracker simultaneously tracks the boundary information of the target object from second frame to last frame of the same video sequence.This dual function of tracking makes the trackers very much robust with respect to the above stated problems. The flexibility of our approach is that it can be successfully applicable in variable background as well as static background.We compare the performance of the proposed dual tracking algorithm with several benchmark datasets and obtain very competitive results in general and in most of the cases we obtained superior results using dual tracking algorithm. We also compare the performance of the proposed dual tracker with some existing PSO based algorithms for tracking and achieved better results.
