Abstract

The compressive tracking (CT) method is a simple yet efficient algorithm which compresses the high-dimensional features into a low-dimensional space while preserving most of the salient information. This paper proposes a compressive time-space Kalman fusion tracking algorithm to extend the CT method to the case of multi-sensor fusion tracking. Existing fusion trackers deal with multi-sensor features individually and without time-space adaptability. Besides, significant information cumulated in the updating process has not been fully exploited, which calls for a necessity for temporal information extraction. Unlike previous algorithms, the proposed fusion model is completed in both space and time domains. Also, extended Kalman filter is introduced to formulate an updating method for fusion coefficient optimization. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed fusion tracking algorithm are demonstrated by several experimental results.

创新点

本文提出的时空Kalman融合模型的压缩跟踪方法将压缩跟踪算法扩展到多传感器融合跟踪的问题中。现有的融合跟踪算法忽略了多传感器特征融合的时空适用性。与现有方法不同的是,本文提出的融合模型同时在时间和空间两个领域完成。此外,本文引入扩展Kalman滤波器为融合系数提供一个优化更新方法。大量实验结果证明了该融合跟踪方法的准确性和鲁棒性。
