- Abstract:
-
A new integrated algorithm was proposed to improve tracking of fast movement in sports videos. First, from the weighted background histogram, the portion of the image with the biggest differences between the tracking target and the background was selected as the tracking feature. This reduced the influence of background information on tracking effects. Next, since the mean shift algorithm needs exhaustive matching with images, we used Kalman filtering to effectively predict the target’s state. This decreased the number of matching calculations and thus improved the robustness of the tracking algorithm. A kernelbased Mean Shift algorithm was then employed to track moving targets. Finally, realtime updating of the target template was provided. The method ensures stable, realtime tracking of athletes in sports videos. Also, other problems, such as partial occlusions, chaotic backgrounds and variation in target size were successfully dealt with using the proposed algorithm.
