MULTI-OBJECT TRACKING USING CORRELATION FILTERS IN VIDEO ANALYTICS APPLICATIONS

Abstract:

In various examples, image areas may be extracted from a batch of one or more images and may be scaled, in batch, to one or more template sizes. Where the image areas include search regions used for localization of objects, the scaled search regions may be loaded into Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) memory and processed in parallel for localization. Similarly, where image areas are used for filter updates, the scaled image areas may be loaded into GPU memory and processed in parallel for filter updates. The image areas may be batched from any number of images and/or from any number of single- and/or multi-object trackers. Further aspects of the disclosure provide approaches for associating locations using correlation response values, for learning correlation filters in object tracking based at least on focused windowing, and for learning correlation filters in object tracking based at least on occlusion maps.
