As cameras become cheaper and gain popularity, vision-based input devices are highly desired and may now become a feasible solution. In this paper, a vision-based virtual piano mechanism is proposed. By tacking and analyzing the motion of the fingertips, the system can detect keystrokes and play the corresponding note on a seven-key virtual piano. Experimental results show the precision and efficiency...
In this paper, a general algorithm for pedestrian detection by on-board monocular camera which can be applied to cameras of various view ranges in unified manner. The Spatio-Temporal MRF model extracts and tracks foreground objects as pedestrians and non-pedestrian distinguishing from background scenes as buildings by referring to motion difference. During the tracking sequences, cascaded HOG classifiers...
We present an unsupervised method to estimate the camera orientation angle on monocular video scenes in the H.264 compressed domain. The method is based on the presence of moving objects in the scene. We start by estimating the global camera motion based on the motion vectors present in the stream, detect and track moving objects and estimate their relative distance to the camera by analyzing the...
Detection and tracking of moving vehicles in airborne videos is a challenging problem. Many approaches have been proposed to improve motion segmentation on frame-by-frame and pixel-by-pixel bases, however, little attention has been paid to analyze the long-term motion pattern, which is a distinctive property for moving vehicles in airborne videos. In this paper, we provide a straightforward geometric...
A real time object tracking system based on multi-view cameras is proposed in this paper. In order to track a moving object, an active camera mounted on a pan/tilt platform controlled by static cameras is used in this system. Image mapping between the cameras in the system is described for the control. A background modelling based moving object detection and analysis model, especially a novel reliable...
We describe a method for tracking people using a time-of-flight camera and apply the method for persistent authentication in a smart-environment. A background model is built by fusing information from intensity and depth images. While a geometric constraint is employed to improve pixel cluster coherence and reducing the influence of noise, the EM algorithm (expectation maximization) is used for tracking...
