  • Patent number: 9349065
    Abstract: A method for tracking multiple image objects, includes resampling particles from each of the image objects tracked in a previous image, calculating respective weights of the resampled particles, and predicting and tracking locations of the image objects in a current image based on values obtained by multiplying the locations of the particles by corresponding weights, wherein when an image object of the previous image has a neighboring image object located within a threshold distance, weights of the particles sampled from the image object are calculated by multiplying image values of the current image by penalties, which are values of distances between the corresponding particles and the neighboring image object. The method is capable of avoiding a hijacking problem in which identifiers of nearby objects are confused with each other or disappear during the tracking of multiple objects.

  • Publication number: 20140293977
    Abstract: The present description relates to a cache based ZigBee network discovery method. A first service profile that specifies a service selected by a user is generated, and it is determined whether previously stored ZigBee network related information includes information about a service providing network that provides the service specified by the first service profile. A first network discovery procedure is performed when it is determined that the previously stored ZigBee network related information does not include the information about the service providing network, and a second network discovery procedure is carried out when it is determined that the previously stored ZigBee network related information includes at least one piece of information about the service providing network.
