Abstract

Kalman filter estimates the desired signal from the amount of measurement related to the extracted signal, which is widely used in engineering due to its simple calculation and easy programming on a computer. However, the basic theory originally proposed by Rudolf E. Kalman is for linear systems only, whereas a realistic physical system is often nonlinear. Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) solves nonlinear filtering problems. In this paper, we focus on issues related with targeted object being occluded We combine EKF and Meanshift to track the moving object. Once the object position is predicted by EKF in the center of the object, then the Meanshift algorithm iterates over the initial value of EKF estimation to track the object. Experiments show that the method reduces the object search time and improves the accuracy of the object tracking.
