Object tracking method and apparatus using stereo images

摘要

An object tracking method and apparatus, the method includes: segmenting a segment of a zone, in which an object is located, from a current frame among consecutively input images and obtaining predetermined measurement information of the segment; determining a plurality of searching zones centered around the segment and predicting parameters of the segment in the current frame based on measurement information of a preceding frame in the searching zones; selecting predetermined searching zones as partial searching candidate zones from the predicted parameters; measuring a visual cue of the segment; and estimating parameters of the segment of the current frame in the partial searching candidate zones based on the visual cue and the predicted parameters and determining parameters having the largest parameter values from the estimated parameters as parameters of the segment.
