  1. Object Tracking, Trajectory Analysis and Event Detection in Intelligent Video Systems Student: Hsu-Yung Cheng Advisor: Jenq-Neng Hwang, Professor Department of Electrical Engineering University of Washington

  2. Outlines • Motivation • Object Tracking • Trajectory Analysis • Event Detection • Conclusions and Future Work

  3. Motivation • Advantage of Video-based systems • Being able to capture a large variety of information • Relatively inexpensive • Easier to install, operate, and maintain • Applications • Security surveillance • Home care surveillance • Intelligent transportation systems • There is an urgent need for intelligent video systems to replace human operators to monitor the areas under surveillance.

  4. System Modules for Intelligent Event Detection Systems

  5. Challenges for Robust Tracking • Segmentation errors • Change of lighting conditions • Shadows • Occlusion

  6. Inter-Object Occlusion

  7. Initial Occlusion

  8. Background Occlusion

  9. Proposed Tracking Mechanism

  10. Background Estimation and Updating • Based on Gaussian mixture models [Stauffer 1999] • Model the recent history of each pixel by a mixture of K Gaussian distributions. • Every pixel value is checked among the existing K Gaussian distributions for a match. • Update the weights for the K distributions and the parameters of the matched distribution • The kth Gaussian is ranked by ( ) • The top-ranked Gaussians are selected as the background models. • Pixel values that belong to background models are accumulated and averaged as the background image. • The background image is updated for every certain interval of time.

  11. Moving Object Segmentation • Based on background subtraction • Fourth order moment [S. Colonnese et al. Proc. of SPIE 2003] • Thresholding

  12. Kalman Filter • Kalman filters are modeled on a Markov chain built on linear operators perturbed by Gaussian noises. At time k, each target has state , where and observation (measurement) , where Kalman, R. E.

  15. Constructing MeasurementCandidate List

  16. Searching for measurement candidate representation points • Search for q1 and q2 in the two nxn windows centered around p1and p2, respectively. • Compute the dissimilarities between the target object and the potential measurement candidates.

  17. Data Association • To associate measurements with targets when performing updates • Nearest Neighbor Data Association For all the measurement in the validation gate of a target, select the nearest measurement. • Probabilistic Data Association (PDA) • Joint Probabilistic Data Association (JPDA)

  30. Three Problems in HMM • Givenl, compute the probability that O is generated by this model How likely did O happen at this place? • Givenl, find the most likely sequence of hidden states that could have generatedO How did the weather change day-by-day? • Given a set of O, learn the most likely l Train the parameters of the HMM forward-backward algorithm Viterbi algorithm Baum-Welch algorithm
