ABSTRACT:
A method tracks non-rigid objects in a video acquired of a cluttered scene by a camera. The method uses a particle filter. The tracking includes the following steps: motion transition estimation, contour deformation detection, and contour regulation. The method uses a dynamic affine transform model and employs the particle filter to estimate the parameters of the model. The method generates a probabilistic map of deformation for tracking the contour of the object followed by a projection step to constrain or regulate the contour in a contour subspace.
