An occlusion-aware multiple deformable object tracker for visual surveillance from two cameras is presented. Each object is tracked by a separate particle filter tracker, which is initiated upon detection of a new person and terminated when s/he leaves the scene. Objects are considered as 3D points at their centre of masses as if their mass density is uniform. Point objects and corresponding silhouette centroids in two views together with the epipolar geometry they satisfy resulted in a practical tracking methodology. An occlusion filter is described, that provides the tracker filters conditional occlusion probabilities of the objects, given their estimated positions. Advances over the previous work; in the computation of conditional occlusion probabilities, in incorporation of these probabilities in the particle filter, and in maintaining tracking of separating objects after long periods of moving close-by, are presented on PETS 2006, PETS 2009 and EPFL datasets.

Occlusion-aware 3-D multiple object tracking for visual surveillance Topçu, Osman; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Ercan, Ali Özer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) This thesis work presents an occlusion-aware particle filter framework for online tracking of multiple people with observations from multiple cameras with overlapping fields of view for surveillance applications. Surveillance problem involves inferring motives of people from their actions, deduced from their trajectories. Visual tracking is required to obtain these trajectories and it is a challenging problem due to motion model variations, size and illumination changes and especially occlusions between mov...
Visual detection and tracking of moving objects Ergezer, Hamza; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this study, primary steps of a visual surveillance system are presented: moving object detection and tracking of these moving objects. Background subtraction has been performed to detect the moving objects in the video, which has been taken from a static camera. Four methods, frame differencing, running (moving) average, eigenbackground subtraction and mixture of Gaussians, have been used in the background subtraction process. After background subtraction, using some additional operations, such as morpho...
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...
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 ...
GPU-enabled real-time panoramic background subtraction Büyüksaraç, Serdar; Akar, Gözde; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) Extraction of foreground objects using a Pan-Tilt camera is a challenging task for various video surveillance applications. It requires several steps such as camera motion extraction, image registration, panorama generation and background subtraction. All these steps require significant computing power. While achieving this by using only Central Processing Unit (CPU) is a challenging task, it might be enabled by efficient parallelization of the algorithms to run on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). In this th...
