Target tracking behind occlusions using a networked high-speed vision system

This paper is concerned with robust target tracking of a high-speed moving object using a networked high-speed vision system. We discuss the occlusion problem faced in the field of computer vision, and we propose a simple tracking method that exploits the high performance of the networked vision system. Using the proposed method, we performed high-speed and robust target tracking behind an occlusion. By comparing the results obtained in the presence of the occlusion with the results obtained without the occlusion, the same tracking results were obtained, confirming the validity of the proposed method.
