An Object Tracking Method Based on Illumination Compensation

Abstract:

Aiming at the illumination change and partial occlusion in the object tracking, an object tracking method based on illumination compensation was proposed. An illumination compensation method based on Retinex was applied to the sequence images, a structural appearance model and template matching were used to track the object. Dense sampling was used to obtain candidates, extended least median square was used to match templates, and a step by step template updating method is applied. The experimental results demonstrate the effect of the proposed method.
