Method and system for multi-modal component-based tracking of an object using robust information fusion
A system and method for tracking an object is disclosed. A video sequence including a plurality of image frames are received. A sample based representation of object appearance distribution is maintained. An object is divided into one or more components. For each component, its location and uncertainty with respect to the sample based representation are estimated. Variable-Bandwidth Density Based Fusion (VBDF) is applied to each component to determine a most dominant motion. The motion estimate is used to determine the track of the object.
