Multiple Feature Fusion for Tracking of Moving Objects in Video Surveillance

Recently video surveillance techniques have been widely applied to intelligent transportation systems. Tracking of moving objects such as vehicles has become a major topic in video surveillance applications. This paper presents a multi-feature fusion model based on a particle filter for moving object tracking. The particle filter combines color and edge orientation information by a stochastic fusion scheme. The scheme randomly selects single observation model to evaluate the likelihood of some particles. The stochastic selection probability is adjusted adaptively by the uncertainty associated with a feature model. The experiment shows that the proposed method has strong tracking robustness and can effectively solve the occlusion problem.
