Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of low accuracy due to target occlusion and deformation in multi-target tracking, this paper proposes a multi-target tracking algorithm based on the multi-feature fusion matching and Hough forest. First, we select positive and negative samples online according to primary association among detection responses and construct the feature model of the target with color histogram, histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and optical flow information. Then, longer trajectory associations are generated based on the online learned Hough forest framework. Finally, a trajectory matching algorithm based on multi-feature fusion is proposed, and we introduce two methods of similarity measure in color histogram and feature points matching based on the Gabor filter to generate the probability matrix with the weighted factor. Therefore, it can further form the complete trajectories of the targets by associating them gradually. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve the problems of target deformation and mutual occlusion in the video sequences of complex environments, and realize the robust tracking of multiple targets.
