Histogram correlation based classifier fusion for object tracking

Mean shift is a popular method used in object tracking. The method, which relies on shifting the search area to the weight center of a generated “weight image” to track objects between consecutive frames, acquired a classifier based framework by using classifiers to generate the weight image. In this work, using multiple classifiers to generate the weight image and calculating contributions of the independent classifiers dynamically by using correlations between histograms of their weight images and histogram of a defined ideal weight image are presented.
