Performance evaluation of object detection and tracking method under illumination variation

TLDR
Experiments shows that proposed discrete wavelet transform based method has a high capability to detect and track non-rigid moving object, even when light intensities change abruptly.
Abstract
A robust, meticulous and high performance approach is still a great challenge in tracking approach. There are various difficulties in object tracking like noise in scene, illumination changes, occlusion effect, and pose variation into the scene. As an object moves, it changes its orientation relative to the light sources which illuminate it. An illumination variation causes tracking algorithm to lose the target in the scene. This paper presents a discrete wavelet transform based method of detecting and tracking moving object under varying illumination condition with a stationary camera. Discrete wavelet transform provides illumination invariant feature extraction method using gaussian smoothing function and thresholding. We have tested tracking results, on number of video sequences with indoor and outdoor environments and demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed method. Experiments shows that proposed method has a high capability to detect and track non-rigid moving object, even when light intensities change abruptly.

Evaluation of the detection ability of a multi-sensor system under weak light

TL;DR: An evaluation method that uses the response characteristics of lidar, depth camera, and RGB camera to the surrounding environment, takes the surface illuminance and BRDF of the target as input variables, and uses the minimum distance classification method to realize the lateral evaluation and comparison of different sensors is proposed.

The Divergence and Bhattacharyya Distance Measures in Signal Selection

TL;DR: This partly tutorial paper compares the properties of an often used measure, the divergence, with a new measure that is often easier to evaluate, called the Bhattacharyya distance, which gives results that are at least as good and often better than those given by the divergence.

Alignment by maximization of mutual information

TL;DR: A new information-theoretic approach is presented for finding the pose of an object in an image that works well in domains where edge or gradient-magnitude based methods have difficulty, yet it is more robust then traditional correlation.
