Abstract
Video indexing requires the efficient segmentation of video into scenes. Object tracking is one of the key technologies in intelligent video surveillance and how to describe the moving target is a key issue. A novel object tracking algorithm is presented in this paper by using the joint color texture histogram to represent a target and then applying it to the mean shift framework. The video is first segmented into shots and a set of key-frames is extracted for each shot. Typical scene detection algorithms incorporate time distance in a shot similarity metric. In the method we propose, to overcome the difficulty of having prior knowledge of the scene duration, the shots are clustered into groups based only on their visual similarity and a label is assigned to each shot according to the group that it belongs to. Then, a sequence alignment algorithm is applied to detect when the pattern of shot labels changes, Apart from the conventional color histogram features, the texture features of the object are also extracted by using the local binary pattern (LBP) technique to represent the object. The major uniform LBP patterns are exploited to form a mask for joint color-texture feature selection. Compared with the traditional color histogram based algorithms that use the whole target region for tracking, the proposed algorithm extracts effectively the edge and corner features in the target region, which characterize better and represent more robustly the target. The experimental results validate that the proposed method improves greatly the tracking accuracy and efficiency with fewer mean shift iterations than standard mean shift tracking. Experiments on TV-series and movies also indicate that the proposed scene detection method accurately detects most of the scene boundaries while preserving a good tradeoff between recall and precision.
