Description
Summary:Abstract Automatic target tracking in emerging remote sensing video-generating tools based on microwave imaging technology and radars has been investigated in this paper. A moving target tracking system is proposed to be low complexity and fast for implementation through edge nodes in a mini-satellite or drone network enabling machine intelligence into large-scale vision systems, in particular, for marine transportation systems. The system uses a group of image processing tools for video pre-processing, and Kalman filtering to do the main task. For testing the system performance, two measures of accuracy and false alarms probability are computed for real vision data. Two types of scenes are analyzed including the scene with single target, and the scene with multiple targets that is more complicated for automatic target detection and tracking systems. The proposed system has achieved a high performance in our tests.
