Visual Person Tracking in Sequences Shot from Camera in Motion

A person tracking algorithm in video scenes shot by camera in motion is proposed. It is shown experimentally that for such a recording scenario an uncomplicated algorithm incorporating background motion subtraction can successfully track moving human silhouettes.
