Object tracking is one of the most important components in numerous applications of computer vision. Color can provide an efficient visual feature for tracking non-rigid objects in real-time. The color is chosen as tracking feature to make the process scale and rotation invariant. The color of an object can vary over time due to variations in the illumination conditions, the visual angle and the camera parameters. This paper presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering. The color feature is extracted using our novel 4D color histogram of the image, which is determined using JND color similarity threshold and connectivity of the neighboring pixels. Particle filter tracks several hypotheses simultaneously and weighs them according to their similarity to the target model. The popular Bhattacharyya coefficient is used as similarity measure between two color distributions. The tracking results are compared on the basis of precision over the data set of video sequences from the website http://visualtracking.net of CVPR13 bench marking paper. The proposed tracker yields better precision values as compared to previous reported results

An implementation of novel genetic based clustering algorithm for color image...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The color image segmentation is one of most crucial application in image processing. It can apply to medical image segmentation for a brain tumor and skin cancer detection or color object detection on CCTV traffic video image segmentation and also for face recognition, fingerprint recognition etc. The color image segmentation has faced the problem of multidimensionality. The color image is considered in five-dimensional problems, three dimensions in color (RGB) and two dimensions in geometry (luminosity layer and chromaticity layer). In this paper the, L*a*b color space conversion has been used to reduce the one dimensional and geometrically it converts in the array hence the further one dimension has been reduced. The a*b space is clustered using genetic algorithm process, which minimizes the overall distance of the cluster, which is randomly placed at the start of the segmentation process. The segmentation results of this method give clear segments based on the different color and it can be applied to any application.

ANOVA and Fisher Criterion based Feature Selection for Lower Dimensional Univ...CSCJournals
Unethical uses of data hiding methods have made Image Steganalysis a very important area of
research work in the field of Digital Investigations. Effectiveness of any Image Steganalysis
algorithm depends on feature selection and feature reduction. The goal of this paper is to develop
a reduced dimensional merged feature set for universal image steganalysis using Fisher Criterion
and ANOVA techniques. Statistical features extracted from wavelet subbands and binary
similarity patterns extracted from DCT of an image are merged to make combined feature set.
Fisher criterion and ANOVA test are applied to evaluate the combined feature vector score and
then only those features are selected which are found sensitive in both feature selection methods.
These reduced dimensional 15-D feature vector is used to train SVM classifier with RBF kernel.
The proposed algorithm is tested against steganography methods like F5, Outguess and LSB
based method. Stego images are generated using widely available stego tools for two standard
image databases: CorelDraw and BSDS500. Results are further validated using 10 fold cross
validation process. The proposed algorithm achieves overall 97% detection accuracy against
various steganography methods

Texture Unit based Approach to Discriminate Manmade Scenes from Natural Scenesidescitation
In this paper a method is proposed to discriminate
natural and manmade scenes of similar depth. Increase in
image depth leads to increase in roughness in manmade
scenes; on the contrary natural scenes exhibit smooth behavior
at higher image depth. This particular arrangement of pixels
in scene structure can be well explained by local texture
information in a pixel and its neighborhood. Our proposed
method analyses local texture information of a scene image
using texture unit matrix. For final classification we have
used unsupervised learning using Self Organizing Map
(SOM). This technique is useful for online classification due
to very less computational complexity.
Textural Feature Extraction of Natural Objects for Image ClassificationCSCJournals
The field of digital image processing has been growing in scope in the recent years. A digital image is represented as a two-dimensional array of pixels, where each pixel has the intensity and location information. Analysis of digital images involves extraction of meaningful information from them, based on certain requirements. Digital Image Analysis requires the extraction of features, transforms the data in the high-dimensional space to a space of fewer dimensions. Feature vectors are n-dimensional vectors of numerical features used to represent an object. We have used Haralick features to classify various images using different classification algorithms like Support Vector Machines (SVM), Logistic Classifier, Random Forests Multi Layer Perception and Naïve Bayes Classifier. Then we used cross validation to assess how well a classifier works for a generalized data set, as compared to the classifications obtained during training.
A Novel Feature Extraction Scheme for Medical X-Ray ImagesIJERA Editor
X-ray images are gray scale images with almost the same textural characteristic. Conventional texture or color
features cannot be used for appropriate categorization in medical x-ray image archives. This paper presents a
novel combination of methods like GLCM, LBP and HOG for extracting distinctive invariant features from Xray
images belonging to IRMA (Image Retrieval in Medical applications) database that can be used to perform
reliable matching between different views of an object or scene. GLCM represents the distributions of the
intensities and the information about relative positions of neighboring pixels of an image. The LBP features are
invariant to image scale and rotation, change in 3D viewpoint, addition of noise, and change in illumination A
HOG feature vector represents local shape of an object, having edge information at plural cells. These features
have been exploited in different algorithms for automatic classification of medical X-ray images. Excellent
experimental results obtained in true problems of rotation invariance, particular rotation angle, demonstrate that
good discrimination can be achieved with the occurrence statistics of simple rotation invariant local binary
patterns.

A NOVEL APPROACH FOR SEGMENTATION OF SECTOR SCAN SONAR IMAGES USING ADAPTIVE ...ijistjournal
The SAR and SAS images are perturbed by a multiplicative noise called speckle, due to the coherent nature of the scattering phenomenon. If the background of an image is uneven, the fixed thresholding technique is not suitable to segment an image using adaptive thresholding method. In this paper a new Adaptive thresholding method is proposed to reduce the speckle noise, preserving the structural features and textural information of Sector Scan SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) images. Due to the massive proliferation of SONAR images, the proposed method is very appealing in under water environment applications. In fact it is a pre- treatment required in any SONAR images analysis system. The results obtained from the proposed method were compared quantitatively and qualitatively with the results obtained from the other speckle reduction techniques and demonstrate its higher performance for speckle reduction in the SONAR images.

Content Based Image Retrieval : Classification Using Neural Networksijma
In a content-based image retrieval system (CBIR), the main issue is to extract the image features that
effectively represent the image contents in a database. Such an extraction requires a detailed evaluation of
retrieval performance of image features. This paper presents a review of fundamental aspects of content

neural network based pattern learning can be used to achieve effective classification.
FUZZY SET THEORETIC APPROACH TO IMAGE THRESHOLDINGIJCSEA Journal
Thresholding is a fast, popular and computationally inexpensive segmentation technique that is always critical and decisive in some image processing applications. The result of image thresholding is not always satisfactory because of the presence of noise and vagueness and ambiguity among the classes. Since the theory of fuzzy sets is a generalization of the classical set theory, it has greater flexibility to capture faithfully the various aspects of incompleteness or imperfectness in information of situation. To overcome this problem, in this paper we proposed a two-stage fuzzy set theoretic approach to image thresholding utilizing the measure of fuzziness to evaluate the fuzziness of an image and to determine an adequate threshold value. At first, images are preprocessed to reduce noise without any loss of image details by fuzzy rule-based filtering and then in the final stage a suitable threshold is determined with the help of a fuzziness measure as a criterion function. Experimental results on test images have demonstrated the effectiveness of this method.
Image enhancement technique plays vital role in improving the quality of the image. Enhancement

part separately and stretch the contrast of an image at inter-object level and intra-object level and then
combines it to an enhanced image. The results are compared with various classical methods using image

Segmentation of medical images using metric topology – a region growing approachIjrdt Journal
A metric topological approach to the region growing based segmentation is presented in this article. Region based growing techniques has gained a significant importance in the medical image processing field for finest of segregation of tumor detected part in the image. Conventional algorithms were concentrated on segmentation at the coarser level which failed to produce enough evidence for the validity of the algorithm. In this article a novel technique is proposed based on metric topological neighbourhood also with the introduction of new objective measure entropy, apart from the traditional validity measures of Accuracy, PSNR and MSE. This measure is introduced to prove the amount of information lost after segmentation is reduced to greater extent which elucidates the effectiveness of the algorithm. This algorithm is tested on the well known benchmarking of testing in ground truth images in par with the proposed region based growing segmented images. The results validated show the validation of effectiveness of the algorithm.

directional information. Further, texture approximation is used to compute various statistical features.
LDA is employed to enhance the class separability. The k-NN classifier with tenfold experimentation is
used for classification. The proposed method is evaluated on Brodatz dataset. The experimental results

Object-Oriented Image Processing Of An High Resolution Satellite Imagery With...CSCJournals
The management of urban areas by urban planners relies on detailed and updated knowledge of their nature and distribution. Manual photo-interpretation of aerial photographs is efficient, but is time consuming. Image segmentation and object-oriented classifications provide a tool to automatically delineate and label urban areas. Here single pixels are not classified but objects created in multi-resolution segmentation process, which allows use of, spectral responses but also texture, context and information from other object layers. This paper presents a methodology allowing to derive meaningful area-wide spatial information for city development and management from high resolution imagery. Finally, the urban land cover classification is used to compute a spatial distribution of built-up densities within the city and to map homogeneous zones or structures of urban morphology

Review of Image Segmentation Techniques based on Region Merging ApproachEditor IJMTER
Image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since
fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a
few simple user inputs are good solutions. In image segmentation the image is dividing into various
segments for processing images. The complexity of image content is a bigger challenge for carrying out
automatic image segmentation. On regions based scheme, the images are merged based on the similarity
criteria depending upon comparing the mean values of both the regions to be merged. So, the similar
regions are then merged and the dissimilar regions are merged together.

A novel predicate for active region merging in automatic image segmentationeSAT Journals
Abstract Image segmentation is an elementary task in computer vision and image processing. This paper deals with the automatic image segmentation in a region merging method. Two essential problems in a region merging algorithm: order of merging and the stopping criterion. These two problems are solved by a novel predicate which is described by the sequential probability ratio test and the minimal cost criterion. In this paper we propose an Active Region merging algorithm which utilizes the information acquired from perceiving edges in color images in L*a*b* color space. By means of color gradient recognition method, pixels with no edges are clustered and considered alone to recognize some preliminary portion of the input image. The color information along with a region growth map consisting of completely grown regions are used to perform an Active region merging method to combine regions with similar characteristics. Experiments on real natural images are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed Active region merging method. Index Terms: Adaptive threshold generation, CIE L*a*b* color gradient, region merging, Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT).
MMFO: modified moth flame optimization algorithm for region based RGB color i...IJECEIAES
Region-based color image segmentation is elementary steps in image processing and computer vision. The region-based color image segmentation has faced the problem of multidimensionality. The color image is considered in five-dimensional problems, in which three dimensions in color (RGB) and two dimensions in geometry (luminosity layer and chromaticity layer). In this paper, L*a*b color space conversion has been used to reduce the one dimension and geometrically it converts in the array hence the further one dimension has been reduced. This paper introduced, an improved algorithm modified moth flame optimization (MMFO) algorithm for RGB color image segmentation which is based on bio-inspired techniques. The simulation results of MMFO for region based color image segmentation are performed better as compared to PSO and GA, in terms of computation times for all the images. The experiment results of this method gives clear segments based on the different color and the different number of clusters is used during the segmentation process.

Implementation of Area & Power Optimized VLSI Circuits Using Logic TechniquesIOSRJVSP
To achieve the reduction of power consumption, optimizations are required at various levels of the design steps such as algorithm, architecture, logic and circuit & process techniques. This paper considers the two logic level approaches for low power digital design. Optimization techniques are carried to reduce switching activity power of individual logic-gates. we can reduce the power by using either circuit level optimization or logical level optimization. In this paper, the circuit level optimization process is followed to reduce the area and power. In the first approach, Modified gate diffusion input (GDI) logic is used in the proposed parallel asynchronous self time adder (PASTA) technique. Similarly, the structure of XOR gate and half adder is reduced to achieve the low area and low power. In second approach, Multi value logic based digital circuit is designed by increasing the representation domain from the two level (N=2) switching algebra to N > 2 levels. The main advantage of this approach is to compensate the inefficiency of existing integrated circuits that are used to implement the universal set of MVL gates. From the results, the proposed GDL logic based Adder offers less number of transistors (area) and low power consumption than the existing technique. And proposed MVL technique allows designing MVL digital circuit that is set to obtain the values from the binary circuits. Also this technique offers low power and small wiring delay, when compared to binary and three value logic. The simulation process is carried out by tanner toolv14.11 to check the functionality of the PASTA & MVL circuits.

This paper presents a new topology to implement MOS current mod logic (MCML) tri-state buffers. In Mos current mode logic (MCML) current section is improves the performance and maintains low power of the circuit. MCML circuits contains true differential operation by which provides the feature of low noise level generation and static power dissipation. So the amount of current drawn from the power supply does not depends on the switching activity. Due to this MOS current mode logic (MCML) circuits have been useful for developing analog and mixed signal IC’s. The implementing of MCML D-flip flop and Frequency divider done by using MCML D-latches. The proposed MCML D-latch consumes less power as it makes use of low power tri-state buffers. Which promotes power saving due to reduction in the overall current flow in the proposed D flip flop topology is verified though Cadence GPDK-180nM CMOS technology parameters.

One of the biggest and important issues in the video watermarking is the distortion and attacks. The attacks and distortion affect the digital watermarking. Watermarking is an embedding process. With the help of watermarking, we insert the data into the digital objects. There are few methods are available for authentication of data, securing/protection of data. The watermarking technique also provides the data security, copyright protection and authentication of the data. Watermarking provides a comfortable life to authorized users. In my proposed work, we are working on distorted watermarked video. The distortion is present on the watermarked video is rational 7 th and 8 th order distortion model. In this paper, firstly we are embedding the watermark information into the original video and after that work on the distortion model which may be come into the watermarked video. We are also calculating the PSNR (Peak signal to noise ratio), SSIM (Structural similarity index measure), Correlation, BER (Bit Error Rate) and MSE (Mean Square Error) parameters for distorted watermarked video. We are showing the relationship between correlation and SSIM with BER, MSE and PSNR.
Analyzing the Impact of Sleep Transistor on SRAMIOSRJVSP
Low Power SRAMs have become a critical component of many VLSI chips. Power can be reduced by using either dynamic or static power reduction techniques. Power gating is one of the most effective static leakage reduction methods. In power gating sleep transistors are used. They disconnect the cell from power supply during sleep mode leading to 91.6% less static power dissipation but they also helps in reducing the dynamic power by reducing the power supply to the cell. In this paper the effect of sleep transistor in active mode is implemented and resulting SRAM is found to dissipate 32% less power than conventional SRAM.
Robust Fault Tolerance in Content Addressable Memory InterfaceIOSRJVSP
With the rapid improvement in data exchange, large memory devices have come out in recent past. The operational controlling for such large memory has became a tedious task due to faster, distributed nature of memory units. In the process of memory accessing it is observed that data written or fetched are often encounter with fault location and faulty data are written or fetched from the addressed locations. In real time applications, this error cannot be tolerated as it leads to variation in the operational condition dependent on the memory data. Hence, It is required to have an optimal controlling fault tolerance in content addressable memory. In this paper, we present an approach of fault tolerance approach by controlling the fault addressing overhead, by introducing a new addressing approach using redundant control modeling of fault address unit. The presented approach achieves the objective of fault controlling over multiple fault location in different dimensions with redundant coding.

Simultaneous Data Path and Clock Path Engineering Change Order for Efficient ...IOSRJVSP
With ever increasing IC complexity and aggressive technology scaling towards cutting edge technologies, the SOC timing closure is becoming a tedious, time consuming and challenging task. Also in advanced technology nodes one has to consider the effect of PVT variation, temperature inversion, noise effect on delay, which is adding more scenarios for STA to cover. In this work, we have proposed an algorithm for simultaneous usage of data path ECO and clock path ECO for efficient timing closure in SOC. The algorithm here tries to fix multiple failing end points through simple clock path optimization, instead of performing data path optimization across multiple paths, thus reducing area and power overhead. The proposed algorithm is tested on multiple industrial designs and found to achieve 30.98% improvement interms of Worst Negative Slack, 63.63% interms of Total Negative Slack, 58.19% interms of Failing End Points. Also the algorithm is physically aware meaning that the placement blockages, congestions are considered while inserting buffers. The algorithm works under Distributed Multi Scenarios Analysis (DMSA) environment and considers the effect of ECO across multiple corners and modes

P-Wave Related Disease Detection Using DWTIOSRJVSP
: ECG conveys information regarding the electrical function of the heart, by altering the shape of its constituent waves, namely the P, QRS, and T waves. ECG Feature Extraction plays a significant role in diagnosing most of the cardiac diseases. This paper focuses on detection of the P-wave, based on 12 lead standard ECG, which will be applied to the detection of patients prone to diseases. The ECG signal contains noise and that noise is removed using Bandpass filter. After elimination of noise, we detect QRS complex which help in detecting the P-Wave. P-wave morphology can be determined in leads II as monophasic and V1 as biphasic during sinus rhythm. DWT provides a value that helps in estimating features of the P-Wave. This detects the diseases that occur when the P-wave is abnormal. The method has been validated using ECG recordings of 250 patients with a wide variety of P-wave morphologies from Database

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a communication pathway between brain and an external device. It translates human thought into commands to control the external devices.Electroencephalography (EEG) is cost effective and easier way to implement the BCI. This paper presents a novel method for classifying EEG during motor imagery by the combination of common spatial pattern (CSP) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). In the proposed method, the EEG signal is bandpass-filtered into multiple frequency bands. The CSP features are then extracted from each of these bands. The LDA classifier is subsequently used to classify the CSP features. In this paper, experimental results are presented on a publicly available BCI competition dataset and the performance is compared with existing approaches. The experimental result shows that the proposed method yields comparatively superior cross validation accuracies compared to prevailing methods.

Retinal Macular Edema Detection Using Optical Coherence Tomography ImagesIOSRJVSP
Macular Edema affects around 20 million people of the world each year. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a non-invasive eye-imaging modality, is capable of detecting Macular Edema both in its early and advanced stages. In this paper, an algorithm which detects Macular Edema from OCT images has been presented. Initially the images are filtered to de-noise them. Then, the retinal layers - Inner Limiting Membrane (ILM) and Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) are segmented using Graph Theory method. Region splitting is performed on the OCT scan and the thickness between the two layers in the different regions are determined. Area enclosed between the two layers is also estimated. Support Vector Machine, a binary classifier is used to draw a classification between normal and abnormal OCT scans. Region-wise thickness, a few Haralick’s features, area between ILM and RPE and a few wavelet features are used to train the classifier. The classifier yielded an accuracy of 95% and a sensitivity of 100%. Thus, this algorithm can be used by ophthalmologists in early detection of Macular Edema.
Speech Enhancement Using Spectral Flatness Measure Based Spectral SubtractionIOSRJVSP
This paper is aimed to reduce background noise introduced in speech signal during capture, storage, transmission and processing using Spectral Subtraction algorithm. To consider the fact that colored noise corrupts the speech signal non-uniformly over different frequency bands, Multi-Band Spectral Subtraction (MBSS) approach is exploited wherein amount of noise subtracted from noisy speech signal is decided by a weighting factor. Choice of optimal values of weights decides the performance of the speech enhancement system. In this paper weights are decided based on SFM (Spectral Flatness Measure) than conventional SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) based rule. Since SFM is able to provide true distinction between speech signal and noise signal. Spectrogram, Mean Opinion Score show that speech enhanced from proposed SFM based MBSS possess better perceptual quality and improved intelligibility than existing SNR based MBSS
Adaptive Channel Equalization using Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks wit...IOSRJVSP
This research addresses the problem inter-symbol interference (ISI) using equalization techniques for time dispersive channels with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The channel equalizer is modelled as a non-linear Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) structure. The Back Propagation (BP) algorithm is used to optimize the synaptic weights of the equalizer during the training mode. In the typical BP algorithm, the error signal is propagated from the output layer to the input layer while the learning rate parameter is held constant. In this study, the BP algorithm is modified so as to allow for the learning rate to be variable at each iteration and this achieves a faster convergence. The proposed algorithm is used to train the MLP based decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for time dispersive ISI channels. The equalizer is tested for a random input sequence of BPSK signals and its performance analysed in terms of the Bit Error Rates and speed of convergence. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the Bit Error Rate (BER) and rate of convergence.
Performance Analysis of the Sigmoid and Fibonacci Activation Functions in NGA...IOSRJVSP
Activation functions are used to transform the mixed inputs into their corresponding output counterparts. Commonly, activation functions are used as transfer functions in engineering and research. Artificial neural networks (ANN) are the preferred choice for most studies and comparisons of activation functions. The Sigmoid Activation Function is the most common and its popularity arise from the fact that it is easy to derive, its boundedness within the unit interval, and it has mathematical properties that work well with the approximation theory. On the other hand, not so common is the Fibonacci Activation Function with similar and perhaps better features than the Sigmoid. Algorithms have a broad range of applications making it plausible to suspect that different problems call for unique activation functions. The aim of this paper is to have a detailed of the role of the activation functions and then analyse the performance of two of them – the Sigmoid and the Fibonacci – in a non-ANN setup using the most basic artificially generated signals. Results show that the Fibonacci activation function performs better with the set of signals applied in the natural gradient algorithm.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract: Object tracking is one of the most important components in numerous applications of computer
vision. Color can provide an efficient visual feature for tracking non-rigid objects in real-time. The color is
chosen as tracking feature to make the process scale and rotation invariant. The color of an object can vary
over time due to variations in the illumination conditions, the visual angle and the camera parameters. This
paper presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering. The color feature is extracted using
our novel 4D color histogram of the image, which is determined using JND color similarity threshold and
connectivity of the neighboring pixels. Particle filter tracks several hypotheses simultaneously and weighs them
according to their similarity to the target model. The popular Bhattacharyya coefficient is used as similarity
measure between two color distributions. The tracking results are compared on the basis of precision over the
data set of video sequences from the website http://visualtracking.net of CVPR13 bench marking paper. The
proposed tracker yields better precision values as compared to previous reported results.
Keywords: Frame segmentation, object detection, object tracking, particle filter, 4-d histogram, spatial
connectivity
I. Introduction
Object tracking is an important task in many application areas like automated surveillance, human
computer interfacing, vehicle navigation, traffic control, etc. [1, 2,3,5,6]. There are three key steps in video
analysis: detection of interesting moving objects, tracking of such objects from frame to frame, and analysis of
object tracks to recognize their behavior. [1,2,3,5,6,8]. Tracking can be defined as the problem of estimating the
trajectory of an object in the image plane as it moves around a scene. A tracker assigns consistent labels to the
tracked objects in different frames of a video. A tracker can also provide object-centric information, such as
orientation, area, or shape of an object. Two basic approaches for object tracking are deterministic method and
stochastic method. The deterministic methods are based on target representation and localization. The stochastic
methods are based on filtering and data association techniques. Various features like color, edges, optical flow,
texture, etc. can be considered for object tracking. [1,2,11,12].
In probabilistic approach state space model is used and the tacking process is considered as state
estimation problem. Basically, Kalman filter is used as a traditional approach of tracking. It provides nice
tracking results for linear systems with Gaussian noise. In nonlinear systems, the nonlinear function is
linearized over small region around predicted value. This approach is known as extended Kalman filter and
utilized to solve the problem of nonlinear tracking. The unscented Kalman filter can approximate second order
Taylor series expansion whereas extended Kalman filter can achieve only first order Taylor series expansion.
Thus unscented Kalman filter have better performance in estimation using Gaussian distribution but still it
cannot deal with multimodal noise distribution [3,4,5,6,8,11]. Particle filter [1,4,5,28,29] is a probabilistic
method for object tracking based on posterior probability density. Particle filter is a point tracking method that
has been proven successful for nonlinear and non-Gaussian estimation [4,5]. It approximates the posterior
probability density of the state such as the object position by using samples which are called particles. Particle
filtering uses sequential importance sampling. It estimates the posterior distribution of target state using set of
weighted particles. The weight of the particle represents the likelihood of particle properties with the target
properties [12]. A single color or local color distribution can be used as an observable feature for deciding
weight of particle [13]. In conventional particle filters like condensation algorithm [4,5], the latest observation
from the current frame in the image sequence is only used in the weighting step and not in the sampling
step. As a result, a large number of particles are often required to approximate the posterior probability density
properly. This limitation is overcome in particle filter algorithm which requires less number of particles and thus
computations get reduced [14]. The process of object tracking involves object detection and tracking the
detected object. Section II describes object detection in brief. Section III describes the process of particle
filtering. The experimental results and conclusions are given in sections IV and V respectively.

II. Object Detection
Object detection can be done in every frame or when the object first appears in the video. Detecting
object in every frame leads to increased accuracy but it also increases the computational cost as well as time
consumed for tracking process. Thus, here object is detected only once in the video frame. Detection of object
can be performed by using various methods, which include point detectors, background subtraction,
segmentation techniques, supervised learning, etc. [1,2,4,5,11,15]. Segmentation techniques are widely used for
the purpose of object detection. Segmentation of image refers to identification of homogeneous regions in the
image. Pixel based segmentation techniques include thresholding, clustering and fuzzy clustering. Region based
segmentation techniques include region growing, region merging, etc. while the edge based techniques can also
be used for segmentation. Hybrid methods combine these techniques for more realistic results.
The algorithm presented here is an extension of the algorithm presented in [23]. This extended
algorithm considers spatial connectivity with neighboring pixels to produce homogeneous regions of similar
colors. The 4D color histogram of the image is determined using JND (Just Noticeable Difference) color
similarity threshold and connectivity of the neighboring pixels, by comparing current pixel with the previously
encountered immediate 8-neighbor pixels. Initial segments are then merged using a slightly higher JND
threshold by applying concept of agglomeration. In JND color histogram, color corresponding to each bin is
visually dissimilar from that of any other bin; whereas each bin contains visually similar colors
[21,22,23,24,25,30]. The color similarity mechanism is based on the threshold of similarity which uses
Euclidean distance between two colors being compared for similarity. A color spatial segmentation scheme
based on spatial color JND histogram using color similarity and spatial connectivity uses additional spatial
information while forming the histogram based on comparison with previously encountered neighboring pixels
[22,23,30].
For preparing the 4D color histogram, the histogram is defined in two data structures Nx4 and
(mxn)x3. The first data structure Table 1 consists of N rows corresponding to the color shades detected and first
three columns correspond to R, G and B as color tri-stimulus corresponding to pixel color and 4th column
represents the population of that color. Second data structure Table 2 has ( m x n) rows corresponding to the
total pixels of the image and first two columns corresponding to spatial location of the pixels in terms of row
and column and third column represents the color index corresponding to the row number in Table 1.
The pixels in the color image are scanned from top pixel to bottom last pixel row and column wise. The color of
pixels are compared on the basis of the Euclidian distance between two pixel colors within the threshold of 3-
JND (JNDeye) for similarity for merging while formation of the histogram tables.

Algorithm for Computing the Spatial Color JND Histogram By comparing only previously encountered
immediate neighbors [30]
i) Initialize two data structures Table 1 and Table 2. Initialize the first entry in Table 1 by the first color vector
in the image i.e. top left pixel color vector [R,G,B] and the frequency(population) by one. Initialize the first
entry in Table 2 by the current row index value of Table 1 i.e. 1 , and the top left pixel position row and
column i.e. y(column)=1 and x(row)=1. Also initialize a (row, column) pointer to top left corner of the
image. Select a similarity threshold JNDeye approximated to 300 (285.27) depending on the precision of
vision from fine to broad as required by the application.
ii) Read the next pixel color vector in scan line order.
iii) Compare the next pixel in scan line with previously encountered pixel using a neighbourhood tile of 3 x 3
as shown in figure 1 below i.e. pixel C is compared with only pixel P.

The center Pixel „C‟ is the current pixel in the scan line, pixels „P‟ are the previously encountered pixels in the
scan line and pixel „F‟ are future non encountered pixels in the scan line. The current pixel C is compared with
the pixels P for similarity based on JND threshold using Euclidian distance between the tri-stimulus color
vectors of the pixels. If color found similar include the pixel in respective bin. Update the entry in Table 1 by
increasing population of respective color bin and update entry in Table 2 by entering row number of the Table 1
updated bin as color index and row and column numbers of C for spatial location of the pixel and go to step v.
iv) If the new color vector is not equal to any of the previously recorded color vectors in Table 1, increment the
row index of Table 1, enter the new color vector in it, set the population to 1 , make the index , row and
column entry in Table 2 and go to step ii.
v) Repeat step ii) to iv) for all the pixels in the image in scan line order.
vi) Sort Table 2 in the increasing order of the color index..
vii) Find the similar colors in the table 1 using similarity threshold Θ more than JNDeye threshold, we have
choose it to be of human perception i.e. JNDh and mark them with additional entry in column 5 of table 1 as
similarity color index (S). The similarity threshold Θ used here is in squared form to eliminate the square
root calculations in Euclidian distance for color similarity calculations i.e. Θ = JNDh
2
=2400 (2567).
viii)This will give us the maximum dissimilar colors available in the image as perceived by humans.
ix) Perform merging of the color bins with same similarity color index (S) in Table 1.
This algorithm ensures formation of the spatial 4D color histogram having color bins produced using
JND color similarity as well as the spatial connectivity. Segmentation procedure is straightforward with the data
structures given in Table 1 and Table 2. In Table 2, the pixel entries are sorted spatially from left to right and
from top to bottom. Segmented image can simply be formed by assigning to each pixel position a JND color
from Table 1 as pointed to by the respective index in Table 2. One of the clusters from the clusters formed by
segmentation by above algorithm is selected as object region. The parameters of the selected cluster like
minimum and maximum X and Y coordinates, coordinates of centroid and mean color component values for the
cluster are used as input parameters for tracking process.
III. Particle Filter Algorithm
Tracking process is performed by using color based particle filter algorithm which is a probabilistic
approach used for state estimation. Tracking process is generally affected by rotation and scale variance. Here
color is chosen as tracking feature to make the process scale and rotation invariant [15,17,18,19,27,29]. We
want to apply such a particle filter in a color-based context. To achieve robustness against non-rigidity, rotation
and partial occlusion we focus on color distributions as target models. These are represented by histograms
which are typically calculated in the RGB space using our novel 4-d spatial color histogram based segmentation
[30].
The color distribution 𝑝 𝑦 = {𝑝 𝑦
(𝑢)
} 𝑢=1….𝑚 of a region R at location y is calculated as
𝑝 𝑦
(𝑢)
= 𝑓 𝑘
𝑥𝑖∈𝑅
∥ 𝑦 − 𝑥𝑖 ∥
𝑎
𝛿[ℎ 𝑥𝑖 − 𝑢] (1)
where δ is the Kronecker delta function and h(xi) assigns one of the m-bins of the histogram to a given color at
location xi. The variable a provides invariance against scaling of the region and the normalization factor f
ensures that 𝑝 𝑦
(𝑢)
= 1𝑚
𝑢=1 .
In a tracking approach the estimated state is updated at each time step by incorporating the new observations.
Therefore, a similarity measure is needed between the color distributions of a region in the newly observed
image and the target model. A popular measure between two distributions is the Bhattacharyya coefficient
[1, 7,11,12,15,16,29]. Considering discrete densities such as two color histograms 𝑝 = {𝑝(𝑢)
} 𝑢=1…𝑚 and
𝑞 = {𝑞(𝑢)
} 𝑢=1…𝑚 the coefficient is defined as
𝜌 𝑝, 𝑞 = 𝑝(𝑢) 𝑞(𝑢)
𝑚
𝑢=1
(2)
Larger the value of ρ is, the more similar the distributions are. For two identical histograms we obtain ρ = 1,
indicating a perfect match. As distance between two distributions we define the measure d
𝑑 = 1 − 𝜌 𝑝, 𝑞 (3)
which is called the Bhattacharyya distance coefficient [1, 7,11,12,15,16].
The color particle filter algorithm consists of the following steps:
4. Color Particle Filter Tracking using Frame Segmentation based on JND Color and Spatial
DOI: 10.9790/4200-0703014654 www.iosrjournals.org 49 | Page
A. Initialization
All the pixels in the detected object region are considered as initial particles. Particle filter algorithm uses state
transition model. Thus initial state S can be defined as
𝑆 = [𝑋 𝑍] 𝑇 (4)
where X represents the state vector and Z represents the observation vector. State of the particle
indicates the position of the particle in terms of coordinates. The propagation of particles is achieved using the
state space model [1,4,5,9,10,20].
B. State update
In this step, new state is set for each particle using proposal distribution. The particle state is updated by using
following equations:
𝑆𝑘 = 𝐹𝑢𝑝𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑒 ∗ 𝑆𝑘−1 (5)
𝑋 𝑘 = 𝑋 𝑘 + 𝜍𝑝𝑜𝑠 ∗ 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑛(2, 𝑁) (6)
𝑍 𝑘 = 𝑍 𝑘 + 𝜍𝑣𝑒𝑐 ∗ 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑛(2, 𝑁) (7)
Where, σpos and σvec are the standard deviations for noise distribution and value of Fupdate [11,28] used is :
1 0 1 0
0 1 0 1
0 0 1 0
0 0 0 1

C. Weighing
The important step in particle filter algorithm is weighing in which each particle is assigned a weight according
to value of likelihood function for that particle. For color based particle filter the color similarity of the particle
with the initially selected object region is used as measure to compute likelihood. The likelihood distance (π)
for the updated particle is calculated using equation (8) [1,4,5,14,15,20].
𝜋 =
1
2 ∗ 𝑝𝑖 ∗ 𝜍
𝑒
(−
𝑑2
2𝜍2)
(8)
If the updated position of the particle lies outside the video frame boundaries, lowest possible value (-
∞) is assigned to it as the likelihood distance. After the likelihood computation, weights (𝑤𝑡
𝑖
) are assigned to
each particle. Larger weight or value is assigned to the particle having larger value of the likelihood function
and vice versa. During filtering, samples with a high weight may be chosen several times, leading to identical
copies, while others with relatively low weights may not be chosen at all.
D. Resampling
When the above algorithm is used for tracking, some low weight particles are also generated. These low weight
particles affect the accuracy of the tracking algorithm. This is known as particle degeneracy [8,19,20]. To
overcome this problem, resampling process is used for generating new set of particles while removing the low
weight particles. The effective sample size (Neff) is used as a measure to determine particle degeneracy.
𝑁𝑒𝑓𝑓 =
1
(𝑤𝑡
𝑖
)2𝑁 𝑠
𝑖=1
(9)
If the effective sample size is less than the threshold sample size (Nth), degeneracy is said to have
occurred and resampling stage is activated. During resampling step, only the particles with lowest weights i.e.
the particle with weight less than the threshold weight, are eliminated and replaced with new set of particles
while other particles are stored for further processing [19,20]. This reduces the computational cost and the
processing time required for resampling.
IV. Results
The experimental results are obtained on many video sequences in avi and mp4 format. The algorithm
has been implemented in Matlab. The algorithm uses 4-d histogram based color spatial segmentation method for
object detection and color particle filter for tracking. This work mainly focuses on the tracking of single target.
The annotated dataset available on the website http://visualtracking.net of CVPR13 benchmarking paper [26]
has been used for testing the results. The dataset consists of 50 fully annotated sequences to facilitate tracking

evaluation under different conditions like Illumination Variation, Scale Variation, Occlusion, Background
Clutters etc. Object to be tracked is selected by the user and only this selected region of object and its
surrounding is segmented to obtain the final object region. As segmentation is not performed over complete
video frame, the computation time is reduced. In this work, we use the precision value as a parameter for
quantitative analysis. Precision plot is a widely used evaluation metric for tracking. Precision is the center
location error, which is defined as the average Euclidean distance between the center locations of the tracked
targets and the manually labelled ground truths. Then the average centre location error over all the frames of one
sequence is used to summarize the overall performance for that sequence. However, when the tracker loses the
target, the output location can be random and the average error value may not measure the tracking performance
correctly [26]. Recently the precision plot [26] has been adopted to measure the overall tracking performance. It
shows the percentage of frames whose estimated location is within the given threshold distance of the ground
truth. As the representative precision score for each tracker we use the score for the threshold is equal to 20
pixels [26].
Figure 2 (a - f) shows different output frames of the video sequence Dancer. It can be seen clearly that
the object to be tracked is changing shape, size and is subjected to in plane rotation then also the tracker is
holding the object in the frames. Figure 2(g) shows the precision curve for the tracker output which shows the
precision value of >50% for the 20 pixel location threshold.
Figure 3 (a - f) shows different output frames of the video sequence Human2. It can be seen clearly that
the object to be tracked is changing shape, size and is subjected to in plane rotation and also illumination
variation then also the tracker is holding the object in the frames. Figure 3(g) shows the precision curve for the
tracker output which shows the precision value of just <50% for the 20 pixel location threshold.
Figure 4 (a - f) shows different output frames of the video sequence Skater2. It can be seen clearly that
the object to be tracked is changing shape, size and is subjected to in plane rotation & background clutter then
also the tracker is holding the object in the frames. Figure 4(g) shows the precision curve for the tracker output
which shows the precision value of >75% for the 20 pixel location threshold.
The precision error is calculated for all the videos tested using the tracker and from this the average
precision error is calculated. The average precision plot indicates the percentage of successfully tacked frames
of all the video sequences against the location threshold in pixels between the tracker output and the ground
truth. The precision plot obtained using our tracker refer Figure 5(b) is showing improvement over previous
trackers [26] in terms of percentage successful frames at location threshold of 20 pixels. The value at the
threshold is 66.6% which is better than earlier reported values which are given in the legend of Figure 5(a) plot
[26] and the precision comparison as given in Table 3.
