Future Work

Although we got satisfactory results in experiments, our system still remain much space to improve.

In foreground extraction, foregrounds will be identified by color-based methods or the process of

“filling holes”. To capture more real foregrounds, we can try using adaptive sizes of block, which can be decided by prediction to fit the scales of objects. In detailed information comparison, we took the concepts of Bhattacharyya coefficient and contrast context histogram to match motion objects to corresponding models. The color features of objects may change dramatically depend on their shapes, a possible solution to measure accurate features is using circles instead of blocks

(rectangles). Our system focuses on human tracking, vehicle tracking will be a extended objective in the future.
