Technical Field
The present invention relates to an image identification and tracking method, and more particularly, to an image identification and tracking method with high identification speed and high tracking accuracy.
Background
In the prior art, most of the imaging devices for detecting the existence of human body adopt various human shape templates or modules, and compare the human shape templates or modules with the detected images to identify the human body, but the required image comparison has huge calculation amount, needs to consume longer time, and has slower image identification speed.
In addition, generally, the tracking processing of the target image is performed by selecting a block to be tracked as a tracking input block of the next image, and using the block of the next input image as a tracking block of the next image, which is output after the tracking operation is performed on the next input image, so as to perform continuous tracking. The tracking accuracy is low because the error between the tracked block and the tracked object may be increased under different conditions according to different tracking algorithms.

The image recognition and tracking method is used for recognizing and tracking a first object in an image, and comprises the following steps:

step S5: identifying the first filtering area and judging whether the first object exists;
in step S4, tracking the interested blob set includes:
step S41: calculating a first prediction region, wherein a first tracking input region of the first initial image is calculated according to a tracking algorithm to obtain the first prediction region so as to predict a region of the interested spot set in a second initial image, and the first tracking input region is provided by a previous initial image of the first initial image; and
step S42: calculating an overlap ratio, wherein the overlap ratio is a ratio between a first overlap region and the first filtering region, the first overlap region is an overlap region between the first expected region and the first filtering region, and if the overlap ratio is greater than a first threshold, the first filtering region is used as a second tracking input region of the second initial image; if not, the first predicted region is used as the second tracking input region of the second initial image, wherein the second tracking input region is used for tracking the interested spot set under the second initial image.
As an optional technical solution, in the step S41, the tracking algorithm is a KCF algorithm.
As an alternative solution, the first threshold is in the range of 0.6 to 1.
As an optional technical solution, the predetermined image area and the non-zero pixel density requirement are both obtained according to an installation position and a resolution of an image capturing device, and the image capturing device is configured to capture the first initial image and the second initial image.

Alternatively, in step S41, if the first initial image is the first initial image of the plurality of initial images, the first filtering area is defined as the first trace input area or other initial areas are defined as the first trace input area.
As an alternative solution, after the step S4, the second initial image undergoes the same steps of identification and tracking as the first initial image, and a second tracking input area is generated as a tracking input area of a third initial image, wherein the third initial image is a next image of the second initial image.
Compared with the prior art, the image identification tracking method compares the first expected area with the first filtering area when tracking each step to determine the first overlapping area, then determines the overlapping proportion according to the ratio of the first overlapping area to the first filtering area, and determines the input area of the next tracking according to the overlapping proportion, so that the farther the area to be tracked is from the area to be tracked, the more the area to be tracked is, and the accuracy of tracking can be greatly improved under the condition of continuous updating.

Detailed Description
FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an image recognition and tracking method according to the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the image recognition and tracking method 100 is used for recognizing and tracking a first object in an image, in this embodiment, the first object may be a human, but in other embodiments, the first object may also be other objects to be recognized and tracked, such as a cat, a car, and so on.
The image recognition and tracking method 100 includes steps S1 to S4.
Step S1: and capturing a plurality of continuous initial images, and analyzing according to the initial images to obtain a corresponding foreground image. The plurality of initial images comprise a first initial image and a second initial image which are continuous; in the present embodiment, an image capturing device (e.g., a camera or a monitor) is used to capture an initial image. In practical operation, the first initial image and the second initial image are two consecutive images captured by the image capturing device, for example, the first initial image may be a first image captured by the image capturing device, and the second initial image may be a second image captured by the image capturing device. The first initial image has a foreground image, the foreground image of the first initial image is defined as a first foreground image, and the first foreground image is stored in a binary system. In this embodiment, the first foreground image is obtained by background modeling and removal. Specifically, the background modeling is performed by analyzing the continuous initial image, for example, an image that is still or jogged may be simply determined as the background, or of course, the background setting may be performed by another algorithm, and then the background of the first initial image is removed according to the background modeling to obtain the corresponding first foreground image. In other embodiments, the first foreground image may be obtained by other methods, for example, the first foreground image may be obtained by performing binarization processing after subtracting the first initial image from the adjacent initial image by using a time difference subtraction method.
After the step S1, the first foreground image is selected to reduce the range of the subsequent image to be recognized, without recognizing the background that is not significant to the user.
Step S2: performing blob detection on the first foreground image to determine a set of moving blobs in the first foreground image and a first set of rectangular boundaries corresponding to the set of moving blobs, where each rectangular boundary in the first set of rectangular boundaries is a minimum rectangular boundary capable of covering the corresponding moving blob in the set of moving blobs. After the speckle detection is performed, the speckles interested by the user can be obtained to further narrow the identification range.
Step S3: according to the preset image area and pixel density requirements, filtering the moving spot set to remove the shadow area and the area of the non-first object, wherein the filtered moving spot set is defined as an interested spot set, and the interested spot set and the area of the first rectangular boundary set corresponding to the interested spot set, which is positioned in the first initial image, are first filtering areas. After the blob detection in step S2, the user obtains a coarser region of interest, and after step S3, the user further refines the blob, for example, by presetting a reasonable image area and non-zero pixel density requirements according to the installation location and resolution of the image capture device, thereby refining the first filtered region within the coarser region, and thus, the range to be identified can be greatly reduced.
Step S4: the interested spot set of the first filtering area is tracked and the tracking result is used as the judgment basis of the second initial image, so as to prevent the interested spot set from being mistakenly removed in the process of identifying and tracking the second initial image. Here, the purpose of tracing is to: the method can avoid that the target to be tracked (such as the spot set representing the first object) disappears in the foreground image and the interested spot set when the action amplitude becomes small or even is static, and prevent the inactive spots from being eliminated when the foreground image is acquired or during the spot detection, so that the integrity of the target to be tracked (such as the first object) can be ensured, for example, in the process of identifying the second initial image, whether the corresponding foreground image or the identification result is accurate or reasonable can be judged according to the tracking result obtained by the first initial image in the step S4, so as to reduce the occurrence of misjudgment. In addition, according to the tracking result obtained in step S4 of the first original image, it can be determined whether the moving object identified and tracked in the second original image is the same as the moving object appearing in the first original image, for example, it can be determined whether the person (if someone) appearing in the second original image is the person appearing in the first original image.
Step S5: the first filtering area is identified, and whether the first object exists is determined, that is, the image identification tracking method 100 only needs to identify the image of the first filtering area, so that the range of image identification is greatly reduced, and the identification speed can be greatly improved.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for tracking a set of interesting blobs in an image recognition and tracking method according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, in step S4, tracking the blob set of interest includes steps S41 and S42.
Step S41: a first expected region is calculated. The first tracking input region of the first initial image is calculated according to a tracking algorithm to obtain a first prediction region for predicting the region of the interested spot set in the second initial image, and the first tracking input region is provided by the adjacent initial image of the first initial image. The tracking algorithm is, for example, kcf (kernel correlation filters) algorithm.
Step S42: the overlap ratio is calculated. If the overlap ratio is greater than a first threshold, the first filtering area is used as a second tracking input area of the second initial image; if not, the first predicted region is used as the second tracking input region of the second initial image, wherein the second tracking input region is used for tracking the interested spot set under the second initial image. The value of the first threshold depends on the actual situation, for example, in the present embodiment, the value of the first threshold may range from 0.6 to 1, and preferably, the first threshold is 0.8, that is, the first expected area overlaps with the first filtering area by more than 80%.
When the image recognition tracking method 100 of the present invention performs tracking in each step, the first expected area is compared with the first filtered area to determine the first overlapping area, then the overlapping ratio is determined according to the ratio between the first overlapping area and the first filtered area, and then the input area for the next tracking is determined according to the overlapping ratio, so as to ensure that the area for the next tracking is not farther from the area to be tracked, and thus the tracking accuracy can be greatly improved under the continuous updating.
In this embodiment, in step S2, after performing blob detection on the first foreground image, it is determined whether a motion blob set exists in the first foreground image, and if so, the process goes to step S3; if not, the first initial image is directly and comprehensively identified to identify whether the first object is contained. Thus, in step S2, a preliminary determination may be made as to whether a subsequent interested spot set exists, and if it does not exist, the comparison of the whole image is performed.
In this embodiment, in step S41, if the first initial image is a first initial image of the plurality of initial images, the first filtering area is defined as the first trace input area or other initial areas are defined as the first trace input area.
In this embodiment, after step S4, the second initial image undergoes the same recognizing and tracking steps as the first initial image to generate a second tracking input region as the tracking input region of the third initial image, wherein the third initial image is the next image of the second initial image. Therefore, one initial image is set through the tracking input area of the previous initial image, so that the tracking accuracy can be ensured under the condition of continuous updating.
In summary, when performing tracking of each step, the image recognition tracking method of the present invention compares the first expected area with the first filtered area to determine the first overlapping area, then determines the overlapping ratio according to the ratio between the first overlapping area and the first filtered area, and determines the input area for the next tracking according to the overlapping ratio, so as to ensure that the area for the next tracking is not farther from the area to be tracked, and thus the tracking accuracy can be greatly improved under continuous updating. Moreover, the speed of image identification can be greatly improved by only identifying the first filtering area.
The present invention is capable of other embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
