A Brief Review on Models of Animal Tracking in Video

Abstract:

The observation on motion and behaviors of the animal is still important in scientific research fields, and various behaviors of animals are tracked and analyzed for many different purposes. The paper concentrates on the technologies employed for animal tracking in video, and reviews the tracking models related to animal motions and behaviors including shape-based model, contour-based model, articulated model, Bag-Of-Feature based model, Markov Model, etc. and gives a brief summary of these models respectively.
