Abstract

Visual tracking is a challenging issue in surveillance, human-computer interaction and intelligent robotics, among others. Managing appearance changes of the target object, illumination changes, rotations, non-rigid deformations, partial or full occlusions, background clutter, fast motion, and so fo...
