In this work a method for tracking fabrics in videos is proposed which, unlike most other cloth tracking algorithms, employs an analysis-by-synthesis approach. That is tracking consists of optimising a set of parameters of a mass-sp ring model that is used to simulate the textile, defining on the one hand the fabric properties and on the other the positions of a limited number of constrained points of the simulated cloth. To improve the tracking accuracy and to overcome the inherently chaotic behaviour of the real fabric several methods to track features on the cloth's surfa ce and the best way to influence the simulation are evaluated.
