Abstract
Moving human detection and tracking are challenging tasks in computer vision. Human motion is usually non-linear and non-Gaussian, and thus many common algorithms are not appropriate for tracking. In this paper we propose a robust tracking algorithm based on particle filter. Multiple moving human in a video sequence are detected using frame difference and morphological operation. Then feature points of every person are extracted using a Harris Corner detection algorithm. Finally, Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) is calculated for each feature point and feature points of the corresponding person are tracked using particle filter. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is efficient to improve the performance of tracking.
