High Speed Moving Target Tracking Algorithm based on Mean Shift for Video Human Motion

Abstract

Abstract As an important research field of computer vision, there are a lot of achievements of human action recognition in recent Most of the researches are confined to the daily gentle action of human, such as walking jogging, sitting down. In sports video there were many specific characteristics about human actions, such as the upside pose of human, high speed, moving viewpoint. For human motion characteristics of sports video, a highspeed moving target tracking algorithm was proposed. Mean shift was an effective tracking algorithm, which was employed to track moving object in video, but it loses object frequently when the tracked object in the video moves rapidly. We advanced an approach to tracking object moving rapidly, and it can work effectively when the object was in cluttered environment. Experimental shows that the proposed algorithm can improve the tracking effect of mean shift algorithm and effectively track high-speed moving target.
