Kalman filter and Hungarian algorithm for multiple object

tracking

The vision.KalmanFilter object

is designed for object tracking. You can use it to predict an

object's future location, to reduce noise in the detected location,

or to help associate multiple objects with their corresponding

tracks. The configureKalmanFilter function

helps you to set up the Kalman filter object.

The assignDetectionsToTrack function

assigns detections to tracks in the context of multiple object

tracking using the James Munkres' variant of the Hungarian

assignment algorithm. The function also determines which tracks are

missing, and which detections should begin a new track.

Image and video annotation for detected or tracked objects

The insertObjectAnnotation function

inserts labels and corresponding circles or rectangles into an

image or video to easily display tracked objects. You can use it

with either a grayscale or true color image input.

Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) point tracker

The vision.PointTracker object

tracks a set of points using the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT), feature

tracking algorithm. You can use the point tracker for video

stabilization, camera motion estimation, and object tracking.

HOG-based people detector

The vision.PeopleDetector object

detects people in an input image using the Histogram of Oriented

Gradient (HOG) features and a trained Support Vector Machine (SVM)

classifier. The object detects unoccluded people in an upright

position.

Video file reader support for H.264 codec (MPEG-4) on Windows

7

This release adds H.264 codec (MPEG-4) video formats for Windows 7

operating systems.

Show matched features display

The showMatchedFeatures function

displays corresponding feature points. It displays a falsecolor

overlay of two images with a color-coded plot of the corresponding

points connected by a line.

Matching methods added for match features

function

This release enhances the matchFeatures function

for applications in computing the fundamental matrix, stereo

vision, registration, and object detection. It provides three

different matching methods: simple threshold match, unique matches,

and unambiguous matches.

Compatibility Considerations

The new implementation of matchFeatures uses

different default value for the method parameter.

If you need the same results as those produced by the previous

implementation, set the Methodparameter

with syntax:

matchFeatures(FEATURES1, FEATURES2, 'Method', 'NearestNeighbor_old',

...).

Kalman filter for tracking tutorial

The Kalman filter is a popular tool for object tracking.

The Using

Kalman Filter for Object Trackingexample helps you to

understand how to setup and use the vision.KalmanFilter object

and theconfigureKalmanFilter function

to track objects.

Motion-based multiple object tracking example

The Motion-Based

Multiple Object Tracking example shows you how

to perform automatic detection and motion-based tracking of moving

objects in a video from a stationary camera.

Face detection and tracking examples

The Face

Detection and Tracking example shows you how

to automatically detect and a track a face.

The Face

Detection and Tracking Using the KLT

Algorithm example uses the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi

(KLT) algorithm and shows you how to automatically detect a face

and track it using a set of feature points.

Stereo image rectification example

This release enhances the Stereo Image Rectification example. It

uses SURF feature detection with theestimateFundamentalMatrix, estimateUncalibratedRectification,

and detectSURFFeaturesfunctions

to compute the rectification of two uncalibrated images, where the

camera intrinsics are unknown.

System object tunable parameter support in code generation

You can change tunable properties in user-defined System objects at

any time, regardless of whether the object is locked. For System

objects predefined in the software, the object must be locked. In

previous releases, you could tune System object properties only for

a limited number of predefined System objects in generated

code.

save and load for

System objects

You can use the save method

to save System objects to a MAT file. If the object is locked, its

state information is saved, also. You can recall and use those

saved objects with the load method.

You can also create your own save and load methods

for a System object you create. To do so, use

the saveObjectImpl and loadObjectImpl,

respectively, in your class definition file.

Save and restore SimState not

supported for System objects

The Save and Restore Simulation State as SimState option is no

longer supported for any System object in a MATLAB Function block.

This option was removed because it prevented parameter tunability

for System objects, which is important in code generation.

Compatibility Considerations

If you need to save and restore simulation states, you may be able

to use a corresponding Simulink block, instead of a System

object.
