The subject of this paper is the visual object tracking in infrared (IR) videos. Our contribution is twofold. First, the performance behaviour of the state-of-the-art trackers is investigated via a comparative study using IR-visible band video conjugates, i.e., video pairs captured observing the same scene simultaneously, to identify the IR specific challenges. Second, we propose a novel ensemble based tracking method that is tuned to IR data. The proposed algorithm sequentially constructs and maintains a dynamical ensemble of simple correlators and produces tracking decisions by switching among the ensemble correlators depending on the target appearance in a computationally highly efficient manner We empirically show that our algorithm significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art trackers in our extensive set of experiments with IR imagery.

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...
FPGA-based infrared image deblurring using angular position of IR detector Doner, Tugay; GÖKCEN, DİNÇER (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01) The motion of the object or the infrared (IR) imaging system during the integration time causes blurring of the IR image. This study covers real-time field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based deblurring for IR detectors, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) was used to quantify the blur caused by the IR detector movement. Point spread function for each pixel was calculated using the angular position data of the IR detector obtained from IMU. Both spatially invariant and spatially variant blur cases can b...
Visual object representations: effects of feature frequency and similarity Eren Kanat, Selda; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2011) The effects of feature frequency and similarity on object recognition have been examined through behavioral experiments, and a model of the formation of visual object representations and old/new recognition has been proposed. A number of experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that frequency and similarity of object features affect the old/new responses to test stimuli in a later recognition task. In the first experiment, when the feature frequencies are controlled, there was a significant increas...
A multimodal approach for individual tracking of people and their belongings Beyan, Çiğdem; Temizel, Alptekin (2015-04-01) In this study, a fully automatic surveillance system for indoor environments which is capable of tracking multiple objects using both visible and thermal band images is proposed. These two modalities are fused to track people and the objects they carry separately using their heat signatures and the owners of the belongings are determined. Fusion of complementary information from different modalities (for example, thermal images are not affected by shadows and there is no thermal reflection or halo effect in...
