    CUSUM-Variance Ratio Based Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithm in Overlapped Vehicle Tracking
    (Modelling, Simulation and Computing Laboratory School of Engineering and Information Technology Universiti Malaysia Sabah Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, 2011) W.Y. Kow; W.L. Khong; Y.K. Chin; I. Saad
    Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is one of the algorithms that have been widely implemented in tracking vehicle for traffic surveillance purposes. The sampling efficiency of the algorithm is essential to determine the vehicle position accurately. However, the sample size of the algorithm is still remaining an issue as non-optimal sample size will defect the tracking accuracy, especially when the moving vehicle is overlapped. Adaptive sample size of MCMC has been implemented using CUSUM Path Plot and Variance Ratio algorithms to perform vehicle tracking. CUSUM Path Plot determines the samples convergence rate by calculating the hairiness of the sample size whereas Variance Ratio method computes two sets of MCMC to determine the samples steady state. This paper proposes the fusion of CUSUM-Variance ratio algorithm to enhance the tracking efficiency. Experimental results shows that the CUSUM-Variance Ratio method have a better performance in tracking the overlapping vehicle with higher accuracy and more optimal sample size compared to the standalone CUSUM Path Plot and Variance Ratio approaches.

    Overlapping Vehicle Tracking via Adaptive Particle Filter with Multiple Cues
    (2011) W.L. Khong; W.Y. Kow; Y.K. Chin; I. Saad; K.T.K. Teo
    Vehicle tracking is a vital approach to assist the onroad traffic surveillance system. Since the on-road vehicles is increasing, occlusion and overlapping of vehicles is often happen in the traffic surveillance scene. Therefore, segmentation and tracking of the occlusion or overlapped vehicle can be a challenging task in surveillance system via image processing. In this paper, a multiple cues overlapping vehicle tracking algorithm is proposed to continuously track the occluded vehicle effectively. The earlier vehicle tracking systems are normally based on colour feature which will leads to inaccurate results when the background colour is complex or too similar with the target vehicle. On the other hand, shape feature will increase the accuracy but consume more computation time in the resampling process during overlapping. The experimental results show that enhancement of the particle filter resampling process with multiple cues is capable to track the overlapped vehicle with higher accuracy and without compromising the processing time.
