Abstract

We advocate the use of Markov sequential object processes for tracking a variable number of moving objects through video frames with a view towards depth calculation. A regression model based on a sequential object process quantifies goodness of fit; regularization terms are incorporated to control within and between frame object interactions. We construct a Markov chain Monte Carlo method for finding the optimal tracks and associated depths and illustrate the approach on a synthetic data set as well as a sport sequence.
