Project 3 - Object Tracking

Daniel Ponsa daniel@cvc.uab.es

• Apply the theory given in the lectures in practice.
• Background Subtraction
• Optical Flow Computation
• Kalman Filter
• Identify the main problems of tested techniques.
• Understand in which situations can be applied reliably.
• Review additional literature, complementing the approaches

explained in the lectures.

Project 3: Goals

2

Project 3: Work to be done

• 3 Assignments
• Implement and/ or check some matlab implementations of

methods seen in the lectures.

• 1 Presentation: Analysis and design of a tracking system
• Propose a system well-suited to solve a given tracking

application.

• Given a sequence, check the literature to establish how you

think it should be processed.

• Groups of 2-3 students.
• Project web page: http://www.cvc.uab.es/~daniel/master/

Project 3: Scheduling

Thu, Apr. 11th Report Presentation Tue, Apr. 9th Review Assignment 3 Tue, Apr. 2th Review Assignment 2 Tue, Apr. 2th Review Assignment 1

• Some deliverables will have to be submitted before the review

sessions and the report presentation.

Project 3: Assignments

• Assignment 1: Background Subtraction
• Assignment 2: Optical Flow
• Assignment 3: Kalman Filter
• Sequences will be provided to test each technique.
• A processing pipeline will be given, where you should partially

implement some of the modules, and parameterise them properly. Preprocess Process Postprocess Visualizer frame res_frame pipeline

• Progress slides should be submitted previous to the review session.
• Groups should be prepared to present their results to the rest of

the class.

Project 3: Presentation (A&D Tracking System)

• Groups should propose a reasonable approach to tackle a given

tracking problem.

• Some tracking applications will be proposed to work on them.
• Groups are encouraged to make their own proposals. The problem

proposed should require the use of theory/ methods not previously seen in the lectures.

• Each group will work on a different tracking application.
• The proposed solution should be the result of reviewing different

alternatives in the literature.

• No implementation is required, but it has its value.
• Groups will present their proposal in an oral presentation.
• A check list is provided to assist in preparing the presentation.
