Abstract

Even though many of today's vision algorithms are very successful, they lack robustness since they are typically limited to a particular situation. In this paper we argue that the principles of sensor and model integration can increase the robustness of today's computer vision systems substantially. As an example multi-cue tracking of faces is discussed. The approach is based on the principles of self-organization of the integration mechanism and self-adaptation of the cue models during tracking. Experiments show that the robustness of simple models is leveraged significantly by sensor and model integration.
