Abstract
Object tracking has always been a hotspot in the field of computer vision and has myriad applications in the real world. A major problem in this field is that of the successful tracking of a moving object undergoing occlusion in its path. This paper presents centroid based tracking scheme of a moving object without any apriori information of its shape or motion. Once the boundary of the object of interest is obtained, the centroid is calculated from its first order moments. This centroid is further utilized to detect the partial occlusion of test object by some other still or moving object in image frame. In case occlusion is detected, the new centroid location of moving object is predicted for subsequent video frames. The proposed algorithm is able to successfully detect moving object undergoing partial or total occlusion. Experimental results of our algorithm are compared with a popular tracking technique based on Mean Shift tracking algorithm.
