Camshift is widely used real-time algorithm in video target tracking field. The size of searching window (SW) is a key factor of Camshift, and bigger or smaller size of SW will both decrease the real-time feature of Camshift. In this paper, a accelerated Camshift with adaptive searching window (ACASW) was proposed. Firstly the meanshift process and computational cost (CC) were modeled, and the relationship between the size of SW and CC was analyzed quantificationally, then the optimized size of SW was deduced, which was used in the proposed algorithm. From the experimental results it can be seen that, compared to the traditional Camshift with fixed EW, the proposed algorithm can reduce the computing time effectively, which improve the real-time feature of the algorithm
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
