YU Wangshen · Dianzi xuebao · 2014
In order to cope with the complex variation of target appearance during visual tracking,a robust tracking algorithm based on feature matching of key regions is proposed. Firstly,it initializes the target model and obtains target candidate through filter prediction. Then,it extracts the key regions of target model and target candidate using adaptive marker-based watershed algorithm and describes them with multiple features. Finally,it matches the key regions to get the mapping from target model to target candidate and calculates the final tracking results to output and update the target model. The proposed algorithm is tested on the video database containing the appearance variation of scale,occlusion,rotation,illumination,pose,background clutters,and motion blur. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can well cope with the complex appearance variation,especially shows the robustness to the partial occlusion,illumination and background clutters.
