A Rao-Blackwellized Parts-Constellation Tracker
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for efficiently tracking objects represented as constellations of parts by integrating out the shape of the model. Parts-based models have been successfully applied to object recognition and tracking. However, the high dimensionality of such models present an obstacle to traditional particle filtering approaches. We can efficiently use parts-based models in a particle filter by applying Rao-Blackwellization to integrate out continuous parameters such as shape. This allows us to maintain multiple hypotheses for the pose of an object without the need to sample in the high-dimensional spaces in which partsbased models live. We present experimental results for a challenging biological tracking task.

Fast and accurate SLAM with Rao-Blackwellized particle filters
Rao-Blackwellized particle filters have become a popular tool to solve the simultaneous localization and mapping problem. This technique applies a particle filter in which each particle carries an individual map of the environment. Accordingly, a key issue is to reduce the number of particles and/or to make use of compact map representations. This paper presents an approximative but highly effi...
متن کاملCollaborative emitter tracking using Rao-Blackwellized random exchange diffusion particle filtering
We introduce in this paper the fully distributed, random exchange diffusion particle filter (ReDif-PF) to track a moving emitter using multiple received signal strength (RSS) sensors. We consider scenarios with both known and unknown sensor model parameters. In the unknown parameter case, a Rao-Blackwellized (RB) version of the random exchange diffusion particle filter, referred to as the RB Re...
متن کاملGating Techniques for Rao-Blackwellized Monte Carlo Data Association Filter
This paper studies the Rao-Blackwellized Monte Carlo data association (RBMCDA) filter for multiple target tracking. The elliptical gating strategies are redesigned and incorporated into the framework of the RBMCDA filter. The obvious benefit is the reduction of the time cost because the data association procedure can be carried out with less validated measurements. In addition, the overlapped p...
متن کاملDeformable Parts Correlation Filters for Robust Visual Tracking
Deformable parts models show a great potential in tracking by principally addressing nonrigid object deformations and self occlusions, but according to recent benchmarks, they often lag behind the holistic approaches. The reason is that potentially large number of degrees of freedom have to be estimated for object localization and simplifications of the constellation topology are often assumed ...
متن کاملA Rao-Blackwellized Mixed State Particle Filter for Head Pose Tracking
This paper presents a Rao-Blackwellized mixed state particle filter for joint head tracking and pose estimation. Rao-Blackwellizing a particle filter consists of marginalizing some of the variables of the state space in order to exactly compute their posterior probability density function. Marginalizing variables reduces the dimension of the configuration space and makes the particle filter mor...
