Adaptive Appearance Model in Particle filter based Visual Tracking

Visual Tracking methods based on particle filter framework uses frequently the state space information of the target object to calculate the observation model, However this often gives a poor estimate if unexpected motions happen, or under conditions of cluttered backgrounds illumination changes, because the model explores the state space without any additional information of current state. In order to avoid the tracking failure, we address in this paper, Particle filter based visual tracking, in which the target appearance model is represented through an adaptive conjunction of color histogram, and space based appearance combining with velocity parameters, then the appearance models is estimated using particles whose weights, are incrementally updated for dynamic adaptation of the cue parametrization.
