The paper presents a solution to the problem of movement tracking in images acquired from video cameras monitoring outside terrain. The solution is resistant to such adverse factors as: leaves fluttering, grass waving, smoke or fog, movement of clouds etc. The presented solution is based on well known image processing methods, nevertheless the key was the use of an appropriate conduct procedure. In order to obtain a real-time system the CUDA technology was involved.
The paper presents a method of irregular patterns creation and matching in an example computer vision system designed for unknown scale objects recognition. The matching process is based on the Hough transform for irregular objects with a parameter space defined by translation, rotation and scaling operations. The high efficiency of the technique allows for poor quality or highly complex images to be analysed. The technique may be used in robot vision systems with unknown scale of the scene, identification systems or for image analysis, directly on grey-level images. In order to guarantee the performance the process of patterns matching is supported by massively parallel processing with the CUDA technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
