Abstract
In this paper, we present KNIGHT, a Windows-based stand-alone object detection, tracking and classification software, which is built upon Microsoft Windows technologies. The object detection component assumes stationary background settings and models background pixel values using Mixture of Gaussians. Gradient-based background subtraction is used to handle scenarios of sudden illumination change. Connected- component algorithm is applied to detected foreground pixels for finding object-level moving blobs. The foreground objects are further tracked based on a pixel-voting technique with the occlusion and entry/exit reasonings. Motion correspondences are established using the color, size, spatial and motion information of objects. We have proposed a texture-based descriptor to classify moving objects into two groups: vehicles and persons. In this component, feature descriptors are computed from image patches, which are partitioned by concentric squares. SVM is used to build the object classifier. The system has been used in the VACE-CLEAR evaluation forum for the vehicle tracking task. Corresponding system performance is presented in this paper.
