The invention discloses a method for judging
occlusion in a target tracking process. The method comprises the following steps that step 1, reading a tracking target
image sequence, extracting a firstframe of image in the
image sequence, selecting a to-be-tracked target frame on the first frame of image, extracting an LBP
feature vector LBP1 of the target frame wherein the first frame of image isa selected tracking target image in a completely unshielded state; step 2, reading a next frame of image, and performing coarse shielding judgment on the frame of image; step 3, if the step 2 is judged to be shielding, performing accurate shielding judgment t by utilizing a
Bhattacharyya distance; step 4, judging whether the
image sequence is the last frame of the tracking target image sequence ornot, and if so, ending; and if not, returning to the step 2. According to the invention, a more robust
occlusion coarse judgment method is designed, the concept of the
Bhattacharyya distance is combined, the interference of target deformation on
occlusion judgment is eliminated, and whether the target is occluded or not can be judged more accurately.
