Search Tracker: Human-derived object tracking in-the-wild through large-scale search and retrieval
Humans use context and scene knowledge to easily localize moving objects in
conditions of complex illumination changes, scene clutter and occlusions. In
this paper, we present a method to leverage human knowledge in the form of
annotated video libraries in a novel search and retrieval based setting to
track objects in unseen video sequences. For every video sequence, a document
that represents motion information is generated. Documents of the unseen video
are queried against the library at multiple scales to find videos with similar
motion characteristics. This provides us with coarse localization of objects in
the unseen video. We further adapt these retrieved object locations to the new
video using an efficient warping scheme. The proposed method is validated on
in-the-wild video surveillance datasets where we outperform state-of-the-art
appearance-based trackers. We also introduce a new challenging dataset with
complex object appearance changes.Comment: Under review with the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for

Human Detection and Tracking for Video Surveillance A Cognitive Science Approach
With crimes on the rise all around the world, video surveillance is becoming
more important day by day. Due to the lack of human resources to monitor this
increasing number of cameras manually new computer vision algorithms to perform
lower and higher level tasks are being developed. We have developed a new
method incorporating the most acclaimed Histograms of Oriented Gradients the
theory of Visual Saliency and the saliency prediction model Deep Multi Level
Network to detect human beings in video sequences. Furthermore we implemented
the k Means algorithm to cluster the HOG feature vectors of the positively
detected windows and determined the path followed by a person in the video. We
achieved a detection precision of 83.11% and a recall of 41.27%. We obtained
these results 76.866 times faster than classification on normal images.Comment: ICCV 2017 Venice, Italy Pages 5 Figures
