Abstract

We present a Kalman filter based approach to performmodel-based motion estimation and tracking. Unlike previousapproaches, the tracking process is not formulated asan SSD minimization problem, but is developed by usingtexture mapping as the measurement model in an extendedKalman filter. During tracking, a super-resolved estimateof the texture present on the object or in the scene is obtained.A key result is the notion of Jacobian images, whichcan be viewed as a generalization of traditional gradientimages, and represent the crucial computation in the trackingprocess. The approach is illustrated with three sampleapplications: full 3D tracking of planar surface patches, aprojective surface tracker for uncalibrated camera scenarios,and a fast, Kalman filtered version of mosaicking withdetection of independently moving objects.
