  5. 24. Region Proposal Based Object Detectors Integrated With an Extended Kalman Filter for a Robust Detect-Tracking Algorithm

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Gabriel Khajo; [2019]
    Keywords : Object Detection; Extended Kalman Filter; Tracking;

    Abstract : In this thesis we present a detect-tracking algorithm (see figure 3.1) that combines the detection robustness of static region proposal based object detectors, like the faster region convolutional neural network (R-CNN) and the region-based fully convolutional networks (R-FCN) model, with the tracking prediction strength of extended Kalman filters, by using, what we have called, a translating and non-rigid user input region of interest (RoI-) mapping.
