Abstract
An object tracking method includes configuring a color of a first illuminating object to vary in a first pattern, capturing the first illuminating object according to a first color during a first time period, and capturing the first illuminating object according to a second color during a second time period after the first time period, wherein the second color is different from the first color.
Claims14
An object tracking method comprising:
- capturing, by controlling a camera, one or more environment background images;
- obtaining, by one or more processing components, a color histogram data of environment according to the one or more environment background images;
- transmitting, by the one or more processing components, a first host command, according to the color histogram data, to a first illuminating object to configure a color of the first illuminating object, wherein the first host command is configured to control the first illuminating object to illuminate with the color varies in a first pattern;
- capturing, by controlling the camera, the first illuminating object according to a first color during a first time period;
- and
- capturing, by controlling the camera, the first illuminating object according to a second color during a second time period after the first time period, wherein the second color is different from the first color;
- wherein the first host command comprises at least one code, wherein the code is encoded, such that the first host command controls pulse-width modulation and a plurality of light intensities of a plurality of LED units arranged on the first illuminating object.
An object tracking device comprising:
- one or more processing components;
- a camera electrically connected to the one or more processing components;
- a memory electrically connected to the one or more processing components;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processing components, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
- controlling the camera to capture one or more environment background images;
- obtaining a color histogram data of environment according to the one or more environment background images;
- transmitting a first host command, according to the color histogram data, to a first illuminating object to configure a color of the first illuminating object, wherein the first host command is configured to control the first illuminating object to illuminate with the color varies in a first pattern;
- controlling the camera to capture the first illuminating object according to a first color during a first time period;
- and
- controlling the camera to capture the first illuminating object according to a second color during a second time period after the first time period, wherein the second color is different from the first color;
- wherein the first host command comprises at least one code, wherein the code is encoded, such that the first host command controls pulse-width modulation and a plurality of light intensities of a plurality of LED units arranged on the first illuminating object.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed, causes one or more processing components to perform operations comprising:
- controlling a camera to capture one or more environment background images:
- obtaining, by one or more processing components, a color histogram data of environment according to the one or more environment background images;
- transmitting, by the one or more processing components, a first host command, according to the color histogram data, to a first illuminating object to configure a color of the first illuminating object, wherein the first host command is configured to control the first illuminating object to illuminate with the color varies in a first pattern;
- controlling the camera to capture the first illuminating object according to a first color during a first time period;
- and
- controlling the camera to capture the first illuminating object according to a second color during a second time period after the first time period, wherein the second color is different from the first color;
- wherein the first host command comprises at least one code, wherein the code is encoded, such that the first host command controls pulse-width modulation and a plurality of light intensities of a plurality of LED units arranged on the first illuminating object.
