Abstract

In this paper we propose a Hausdorff matching based SVD-covariance descriptor for object tracking. Object tracking is one of the most important tasks in computer vision and covariance descriptor for visual tracking has attracted many researchers in the field. The main issues we want to address in this paper consist of the difficulty brought by the non-Euclidean space elements choice of covariance matrices and the large expenditure caused by the measurement between different models calculated on Riemannian manifolds. We have designed an efficient and discriminative SVD-covariance representation feature. The measurement between the target and candidates can be realized through Hausdorff distance. Theoretically, this reduces the computational cost compared with the original measurement on Riemannian manifolds. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is able to generate the promising feature for visual tracking.
