The question remains, however, if decision aids can be used beyond just aiding the human decision process.

Making Good Features Track Better

This paper addresses robust feature tracking. We extend the well-known Shi-Tomasi-Kanade tracker by introducing an automatic scheme for rejecting spurious features. We employ a simple and efficient outlier rejection rule, called X84, and prove that its theoretical assumptions are satisfied in the feature tracking scenario. Experiments with real and synthetic images confirm that our algorithm ma...
