| Summary: | Cameras are widely used in the detection and tracking of moving targets. Compared to target visual tracking using a single camera, cooperative tracking based on multiple cameras has advantages including wider visual field, higher tracking reliability, higher precision of target positioning and higher possibility of multiple-target visual tracking. With vast ocean and sea surfaces, it is a challenge using multiple cameras to work together to achieve specific target tracking and detection, and it will have a wide range of application prospects. According to the characteristics of sea-surface moving targets and visual images, this study proposed and designed a sea-surface moving-target visual detection and tracking system with a multi-camera cooperation approach. In the system, the technologies of moving target detection, tracking, and matching are studied, and the strategy to coordinate multi-camera cooperation is proposed. The comprehensive experiments of cooperative sea-surface moving-target visual tracking show that the method used in this study has improved performance compared with contrapositive methods, and the proposed system can meet the needs of multi-camera cooperative visual tracking of moving targets on the sea surface. |
