python + opencv: kalman 跟踪

       之前博文中讲解过kalman滤波的原理和 应用，这里用一个跟踪鼠标的例程来演示怎么在opencv里用自带的kalman函数进行目标跟踪，文章的内容对做图像跟踪有借鉴意义。文章主要是网络资源进行整理和简单解读，来源见参考。

运动模型的建立：

       在进入kalman跟踪之前，首先要建立鼠标运动的模型，至少有两个状态变量：鼠标位置x,y，也可以是四个状态变量：位置x,y和速度vx，vy。两个测量变量：鼠标位置x,y。由于鼠标的运动是个随机运动，并没有一个精确复杂的数学模型。在粒子滤波博文中，也做过图像跟踪，跟那里程序类似的是，鼠标的位置主要通过上一时刻的位置再叠加一个随机噪声来预测。

       

opencv kalman代码：

       例程主要分为两部分，第一部分是针对目标跟踪而封装好的的一个kalman滤波器类，方便以后扩展到其他程序中。第二部分是使用之前封装好的kalman目标跟踪类进行鼠标跟踪。

      代码详细解读：

      这部分程序中，最主要的kalman滤波器的创建和使用。

self.kalman = cv.CreateKalman(4, 2, 0)

该句命令为创建kalman滤波器，使用方法如下：

                CreateKalman(dynam_params, measure_params, control_params=0)

它有3个输入参数，dynam_params：状态空间的维数；measure_param：测量值的维数；control_params：控制向量的维数，默认为0。由于这里该模型中并没有控制变量，因此也为0。

cv.SetIdentity(self.kalman.process_noise_cov, cv.RealScalar(processNoiseCovariance))
cv.SetIdentity(self.kalman.measurement_noise_cov, cv.RealScalar(measurementNoiseCovariance))
cv.SetIdentity(self.kalman.error_cov_post, cv.RealScalar(errorCovariancePost))

代码中这三句为设定过程噪声协方差矩阵、测量噪声协方差矩阵、以及初始化后验误差协方差矩阵。
       创建完成以后，就只等待在主函数中调用，进行预测和更新了。

       注意：在使用过程中，为达到好的跟踪效果主要调节下示参数中的前两个参数processNosieCovariance和measurementNoiseCovariance

__init__(self, processNoiseCovariance=1e-2, measurementNoiseCovariance=1e-1, errorCovariancePost=0.1)

运行程序就能看到效果。

      值得一提的是：状态模型中使不使用速度变量，效果是不一样的。

状态模型中加入速度变量：

不加入速度变量：

        调节之前提到的参数，得到最好的效果。

        最后，读者可以将本文中的程序稍作修改实现粒子滤波博文中视频跟踪穿红衣女子，视频可以在粒子滤波博文代码材料中找到，祝好运。
