Abstract

One of the key problems in the field of image processing is object tracking in video. Multiple objects, occlusion, and non-stationary video are some of the challenges that one may face in developing an effective approach. A less-studied approach considers swarm intelligence. This paper presents a new and improved algorithm based on Bacterial Foraging Optimization in order to track multiple objects in real-time video exposed to full and partial occlusion, using video from a moving camera. A comparison with various algorithms is provided.
