Lucas-Kanade method
sparse optical flow
multiple GPU computations - Opis:
- Motion tracking algorithms are widely used in computer vision related research. However, the new video standards, especially those in high resolutions, cause that current implementations, even running on modern hardware, no longer meet the needs of real-time processing. To overcome this challenge several GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) computing approaches have recently been proposed. Although they present a great potential of a GPU platform, hardly any is able to process high definition video sequences efficiently. Thus, a need arose to develop a tool being able to address the outlined problem. In this paper we present software that implements optical flow motion tracking using the Lucas-Kanade algorithm. It is also integrated with the Harris corner detector and therefore the algorithm may perform sparse tracking, i.e. tracking of the meaningful pixels only. This allows to substantially lower the computational burden of the method. Moreover, both parts of the algorithm, i.e. corner selection and tracking, are implemented on GPU and, as a result, the software is immensely fast, allowing for real-time motion tracking on videos in Full HD or even 4K format. In order to deliver the highest performance, it also supports multiple GPU systems, where it scales up very well.
