  • Object tracking systems and methods utilizing compressed-domain motion-based segmentation
    Patent number: 7835542
    Abstract: An object tracking method may include: receiving frames of data containing image information of an object; performing an object segmentation to obtain an object motion result; and using the object motion result to conduct an object tracking. In particular, the object segmentation may include: extracting motion vectors from the frames of data; estimating a global motion using the motion vectors; and subtracting the global motion from the motion vectors to generate an object motion result.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2010
    Assignee: Industrial Technology Research Institute
    Inventors: Chia-Wen Lin, Zhi-Hong Ling, Kual-Zheng Lee
