Abstract

To overcome the shortages of SIFT features and Camshift to individually apply to object tracking, in this paper, an algorithm is presented which integrates SIFT and Camshift tracking. In the proposed algorithm, Bhattacharyya coefficient is used as an indicator that judges whether the matching result is stable or not. Then, SIFT and Camshift tracking can adaptively switch tracking method. The SIFT features of object are updated in real-time according to matched result and historical information. Experimental results demonstrate that this algorithm can track the object accurately in conditions of scale modifications, rotation, abrupt shifts, as well as clutter and partial occlusions occurring to the tracking object with good robustness.
