Optical Flow

The process of identifying and tracking the motion of objects within a video sequence. It involves calculating the movement of pixels between consecutive frames.

Action Classification

A technique that uses machine learning to classify actions or events happening in a video, often by analyzing the motion and appearance of objects within the video.

Obstacle Tracking & Video Analysis

A video surveillance task that uses multiple algorithms to identify, track, and analyze the motion of objects within a video. It's often used in security systems and traffic monitoring.

Visual Object Tracking (VOT)

A technique used to track the position of a specific object in a video sequence that is based solely on its initial position in the first frame. It doesn't require a separate detection algorithm.

Study Notes

Video Analysis Algorithms in Computer Vision

  • Video analysis in computer vision involves algorithms for object tracking and action classification.
  • Object tracking algorithms include optical flow, Visual Object Tracking (VOT), and Multiple Object Tracking (MOT).
  • Action classification utilizes machine learning, specifically end-to-end methods.
  • Pose estimation is another technique used for action classification.

Object Tracking

  • Video is a sequence of frames, either a live stream or a fixed-length sequence.
  • Videos contain raw image data.
  • Motion is the key difference between an image and a video.
  • Tracking motion allows for action understanding, pose estimation, and movement analysis.

Optical Flow

  • Optical flow estimates the pixel shift between video frames (correspondence problem).
  • The output is a vector representing movement between frames.
  • Existing datasets like KITTI and MPI Sintel provide ground truth optical flow data.
  • Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can be used to solve optical flow.

FlowNet

  • FlowNet is a CNN designed for optical flow tasks.
  • It outputs the optical flow from two frames.
  • Optical flow is visually represented by colours.

Visual Object Tracking (VOT)

  • VOT tracks an object given its initial position within one frame.
  • It doesn't use detection algorithms; it's model-free (just tracks the moving object).
  • VOT uses a bounding box, color histogram, and background color to track.
  • Features are color-based; no need for a neural network.

Visual Object Tracking (VOT) using CNNs

  • MDNet (Multi-Domain Net) and GOTURN are two main CNN models for VOT.
  • MDNet distinguishes between objects and background using bounding boxes.
  • GOTURN uses two neural networks and specifies region for search; it's faster (>100 FPS).

Multiple Object Tracking (MOT)

  • MOT tracks multiple objects over a video.
  • Tracking is long-term.
  • Two variants exist: Detection-Based Tracking (knowing what is being tracked) and Detection-Free Tracking (not knowing what is being tracked).

Action Classification

  • Action classification analyzes actions within a video.
  • It relies on object detection and tracking.
  • Choosing the best camera angle from available viewpoints is vital.
  • Actions range from simple (walking, clapping) to complex (making a sandwich).

Action Classification with Machine Learning (End-to-End)

  • Action classification happens in video, not images.
  • It processes multiple frames as a space-time volume.
  • Video data can be broken down into spatial (individual frames) and temporal (motion between frames) information.
  • Spatial part shows scene and objects; temporal part shows movement.

Pose Estimation

  • Pose estimation is a deep learning technique for action classification.
  • Key steps include: detecting keypoints (similar to facial landmarks), tracking keypoints, and classifying keypoint movement.
