Tracking of fast moving objects in real time

Abstract

In this paper the effectiveness of the methods for the determination of objects movement between frames in a video sequence was investigated applying to the task of roundwood parameters control. The phase correlation method shows the best value for the accuracy and performance under the given conditions. It was decided to update this method in order to improve the performance of developing machine vision system in the accuracy and reliability of tracking objects. The modified method of phase correlation was implemented using parallel processing OpenMP, which allowed to achieve the necessary performance indicators. The method was tested on the image database of real technological process of round timber movement on the conveyer belt and showed high efficiency and robustness.
