Abstract

Active shape models can be applied to tracking non-rigid objects in video image sequences. Traditionally these models do not include color information in their formulation. In this paper, we present a hierarchical realization of an enhanced active shape model for color video tracking and we study the performance of both hierarchical and nonhierarchical implementations in the RGB, YUV, and HSI color spaces.
