An implicit motion likelihood for tracking with particle filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Particle filters is now established as one of the most popular method for visual tracking. Within this framework, it is generally assumed that the data are temporally independent given the sequence of object states. In this paper, we argue that in general the data are correlated, and that modeling such dependency should improve tracking robustness. To take data correlation into account, we propose a new model which can be interpreted as introducing a likelihood on implicit motion measurements. The proposed model allows to filter out visual distractors when tracking objects with generic models based on shape or color distribution representations, as shown by the reported experiments.

Tracking Poorly Modelled Motion Using Particle Filters with Iterated Likelihood Weighting
Human motion in cluttered scenes is often tracked using particle filtering. However, poorly modelled inter-frame motion is not uncommon, resulting in poor priors for the filtering step. Alternatives to the Condensation algorithm in the form of an Auxiliary Particle Filter (APF) and Iterated Likelihood Weighting (ILW) are described. Experimental results comparing these filters’ accuracy and cons...
متن کاملTracking human motion using auxiliary particle filters and iterated likelihood weighting
Bayesian particle filters have become popular for tracking human motion in cluttered scenes. The most commonly used filters suffer from two drawbacks. First, the prior used for the filtering step is often poor due to relatively large, poorly modelled inter-frame motion. Second, the use of the prior as an importance function results in inefficient sampling of the posterior. The use of the auxili...
متن کاملUnscented Kalman Filtering for Articulated Human Tracking
We present an articulated tracking system working with data from a single narrow baseline stereo camera. The use of stereo data allows for some depth disambiguation, a common issue in articulated tracking, which in turn yields likelihoods that are practically unimodal. While current state-of-the-art trackers utilize particle filters, our unimodal likelihood model allows us to use an unscented K...

The joint analysis of motions and deformations is crucial in a number of computer vision applications. In this paper, we introduce a non-linear stochastic filtering technique to track the state of a free curve. The approach we propose is implemented through a particle filter which includes color measurements characterizing the target and the background respectively. We design a continuous-time ...
متن کاملTracking using explanation-based modeling
We study the problem of tracking, namely, estimating the states of physical objects with time, from streams of noisy and unreliable observations. The most common model for the tracking problem is the generative model, which is the basis of solutions such as the Kalman filter and particle filters. In this paper, we consider a different formulation – an explanatory framework – for tracking, and w...
