Abstract

Since the shape of a 3D object moving in 3D space changes a lot in 2D image due to translation and rotation, it is very difficult to track the object using the SSD algorithm which finds the matching object in the input image using the template of the moving object. To solve the problem, this paper presents an enhanced SSD algorithm which updates the template based on an extended snake algorithm adaptive to the shape variation. The proposed snake algorithm uses the derivative of the area as the constraint energy to determine the boundary of an interested area considering the progressive variation of the shape. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been proved by the experiments where a mobile robot with one camera tracks a 3D target object translating and rotating arbitrarily in the 3D workspace.
