Abstract

We propose a novel scheme that jointly employs anisotropic mean shift and particle filters for tracking moving objects from video. The proposed anisotropic mean shift, that is applied to partitioned areas in a candidate object bounding box whose parameters (center, width, height and orientation) are adjusted during the mean shift iterations, seeks multiple local modes in spatial-kernel weighted color histograms. By using a Gaussian distributed Bhattacharyya distance as the likelihood and mean shift updated parameters as the state vector, particle filters become more efficient in terms of tracking using a small number of particles (
