Abstract

We present a novel method for performing data association that handles complex motion models while increasing the robustness of tracking and being suitable for real-time applications. Instead of using motion model in standard recursive fashion, we robustly fit it over multiple frames simultaneously. This allows us to naturally handle arbitrarily complex motion models, to automate the initialization and to deal with occlusion and false alarms. This is effective even if the motion model is not entirely accurate and if there are frequent false-negatives and false-positives. Our algorithm is easy to implement and we show its performances on two real examples of complex motion tracking.
