Recognition and tracking of certain objects of interest is an important aspect that a robotic system has to have for a variety of reasons. One use of tracking is introduced with behavior-based robotics where certain objects, or object distributions are used as triggers for different behaviors. Landmark based navigation is yet another example. Although it is possible to execute tracking by using different sensors, vision is mostly preferred. In this paper, a color-based object tracking system is introduced.

Object tracking system with seamless object handover between stationary and moving camera modes Emeksiz, Deniz; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2012) As the number of surveillance cameras and mobile platforms with cameras increases, automated detection and tracking of objects on these systems gain importance. There are various tracking methods designed for stationary or moving cameras. For stationary cameras, correspondence based tracking methods along with background subtraction have various advantages such as enabling detection of object entry and exit in a scene. They also provide robust tracking when the camera is static. However, they fail when the ...
INTEGRATION OF 2D IMAGES AND RANGE DATA FOR OBJECT SEGMENTATION AND RECOGNITION Bayramoglu, Neslihan; Akman, Oytun; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Jonker, Pieter (2009-09-11) In the field of vision based robot actuation, in order to manipulate objects in an environment, background separation and object selection a re fundamental tasks that should be carried out in a fast and efficient way. In this paper, we propose a method to segment possible object locations in the scene and recognize them via local-point based representation. Exploiting the resulting 3D structure of the scene via a time-of-flight camera, background regions are eliminated with the assumption that the objects a...
Face detection in active robot vision Önder, Murat; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) The main task in this thesis is to design a robot vision system with face detection and tracking capability. Hence there are two main works in the thesis: Firstly, the detection of the face on an image that is taken from the camera on the robot must be achieved. Hence this is a serious real time image processing task and time constraints are very important because of this reason. A processing rate of 1 frame/second is tried to be achieved and hence a fast face detection algorithm had to be used. The Eigenfa...
Visual detection and tracking of moving objects Ergezer, Hamza; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2007-06-13) In this paper, primary steps of a visual surveillance system are presented: moving object detection and tracking of these moving objects. Running average method has been used to detect the moving objects in the video, which is taken from a static camera. Tracking of foreground objects has been realized by using a Kalman filter. After background subtraction, morphological operators are used to remove noises detected as foreground. Active contour models (snakes) are the segmentation tools for the extracted fo...
Tracking in WiMAX Networks Using Cell-IDs Bshara, Mussa; Orguner, Umut; Van Biesen, Leo (2009-07-10) There is some skepticism regarding the practical implementation of a tracking system that depends on cell identification (Cell-ID) information. This pessimism is due to the fact that tracking systems are known to require high positioning accuracy, while Cell-ID positioning is known as being "low accuracy" positing technique. However, using the Cell-IDs in a different way (a novel approach) than in current positioning will allow the implementation of a tracking system capable of providing sufficient position...
