Abstract
A method and apparatus are described for improving object trackability via parametric camera tuning. In one embodiment, a determination is made as to whether the camera settings loaded cause saturation of a video image and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of the video image. If the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold, a search of camera settings is performed to increase saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and a background of the video image.
Claims20
A method of improving trackability of an object within a video image, comprising:
- determining whether camera settings cause saturation of the video image and hue differences between objects to be tracked and between the objects and a background of the video image to exceed a threshold;
- and
- if the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold, searching the camera settings to find a setting that causes saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and the background of the image to exceed the threshold.
A system comprising:
- a storage device having stored therein one or more routines for improving trackability of an object within a video image;
- and
- a processor coupled to the storage device to execute the one or more routines to improve the trackability of the object within the video image, the processor to determine whether camera settings cause saturation of the video image and hue differences between objects to be tracked and between the objects and a background of the video image to exceed a threshold;
- and
- if the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold, searching the camera settings to find settings that cause saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and the background of the image to exceed the threshold.
A machine readable medium having stored thereon data representing sets of instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- determine whether camera settings cause saturation of a video image and hue differences between objects to be tracked and between the objects and a background of the video image to exceed a threshold;
- and
- if the saturation and hue differences do not exceed the threshold, search the camera settings to find a setting that causes saturation and hue differences between objects and between the objects and the background of the image to exceed the threshold.
