Integrating plan-view tracking and color-based person models for multiple people tracking

Tracking multiple people in a dynamic environment is important in many applications. Recent research in this area has focused either on geometric analysis or appearance models. In this paper we distinguish four types of tracking problems, and then describe an approach for combining geometric analysis and appearance-based tracking to "hold on to" people in three of these situations.
