This video demo illustrates color-histogram-based object tracker in action. CV system tracks people as moving blobs (“clouds” of moving pixels) identifies them and distinct one from another in case of occlusions. When two (or more) blobs are intersected, system merges them in one combined object and marks it by IDs of all those source-objects that currently included in the combination. When one of objects separates from the combination CV system recognize which one is out and re-arrange ID appropriately. This approach works pretty well in case of characteristic histograms.
Here is a demo of the jerry-built algorithm that finds barcode plates using Hough transform. Actually the video is mostly speaking for itself. Two points to comment:
The frames of barcodes are a bit long, since with given approach there is distinct difficulty in precise identification of barcode beginning and ending, so borders where widened to not miss the useful part, which is not really critical since extracted region of interest is still quite small.
The task was to detect only one barcode, so when there are several of them in the camera sight, CV system selects the best one (those with the most distinct lines). Since conditions of lighting and sharpness are always floating in video, system jumps from one barcode to another.
This demo video demonstrates ability of CV system to take snapshots of several moving people by means of two digital cameras: static (QuickCam Pro 9000) and moving (AXIS 214) PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom). CV system tracks moving people (using color-histogram-based tracker) on the video taken by the static camera and targeting PTZ cam to one of people, negotiating the number of already captured snapshots per person and distance to peoples on scene. Since PTZ cam positioning takes some time, the predicting algorithm is used to forecast future position of the person, which allows targeting PTZ cam more accurately.
This is a demo of object recognition technique based on extraction and matching of characteristic points on objects with evident texture. This technique allows recognizing object by various angles and in case of partial occlusions. The demo clip is self-explanatory – obviously it works just fine.
