A Novel Object Tracking Based on Foreground Hue Histogram

Article Preview

Abstract:

We propose a tracking algorithm for a single non-rigid object based on its foreground hue histogram. A tracked region can be described by the foreground hue histogram only calculating foreground object pixels, which can effectively restrain the disturbing of complex background environments. For measuring the object likelihood, we match the foreground hue histogram with that of the tracked object and refer the result of motion detection to encircle the tracked object region as much as possible. During the tracking, we update the hue histogram model for adapting the object appearance variation. The proposed algorithm is realized in the particle filter frame, and the experiments show that it is capable of robustly and accurately tracking a single non-rigid object for the situations of complex background scenes and strong appearance variations.
