Abstract

We present an approach for reacquisition of detected moving objects. We address the tracking problem by modeling the appearance of the moving region using stochastic models. The appearance of the object is described by multiple models representing spatial distributions of objects' colors and edges. This representation is invariant to 2D rigid and scale transformation. It provides a good description of the object being tracked, and produces an efficient blob similarity measure for tracking. Three different similarity measures are proposed, and compared to show the performance of each model. The proposed appearance model allows to track a large number of moving people with partial and total occlusions and permits to reacquire objects that have been previously tracked. We demonstrate the performance of the system on several real video surveillance sequences.
