Feature points are firstly extracted by the improved minimum intensity change （MIC） algorithm. The matching points of these feature points are then determined by adaptive rood pattern searching. Based on the random sample consensus （RANSAC） method, the background motion is finally compensated by the parameters of an affine transform of the background motion. With reasonable morphological filtering, the moving objects are completely extracted from the background, and then tracked accurately. Experimental results show that the improved method is successful on the motion background compensation and offers great promise in tracking moving objects of the dynamic image sequence.展开更多

But it is apt to be influenced by scattered edges around the control points. Since the shape of a moving object in 2D image changes a lot due to its rotation and translation in the 3D space, the conventional algorithm that takes into account slowly moving objects cannot provide an appropriate solution. To utilize the advantages of the snake algorithm while minimizing the drawbacks, this paper proposes the area variation based color snake algorithm for moving object tracking. The proposed algorithm includes a new energy term which is used for preserving the shape of an object between two consecutive images. The proposed one can also segment precisely interesting objects on complex image since it is based on color information. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm is very effective in various environments.展开更多

For the shortcomings and deficiencies of the frame-subtraction method, a redundant discrete wavelet transform （RDWT） based moving object recognition algorithm is put forward, which directly detects moving objects in the redundant discrete wavelet transform domain. An improved adaptive mean-shift algorithm is used to track the moving object in the follow up frames. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively extract the moving object, even though the object is similar to the background, and the results are better than the traditional frame-subtraction method. The object tracking is accurate without the impact of changes in the size of the object. Therefore the algorithm has a certain practical value and prospect.展开更多

To maintain such streaming data of location updates from mobile clients, conventional approaches such as time-based regular location updating and distance-based location updating have been used. However, these methods suffer from the large amount of data, redundant location updates, and large trajectory estimation errors due to the varying speed of moving objects. In this paper, we propose a simple but efficient online trajectory data reduction method for portable devices. To solve the problems of redundancy and large estimation errors, the proposed algorithm computes trajectory errors and finds a recent location update that should be sent to the server to satisfy the user requirements. We evaluate the proposed algorithm with real GPS trajectory data consisting of 17 201 trajectories. The intensive simulation results prove that the proposed algorithm always meets the given user requirements and exhibits a data reduction ratio of greater than 87% when the acceptable trajectory error is greater than or equal to 10 meters.展开更多
