Optimization of the active contour snaxels for human gait tracking

Tracking an object is one the most considerable and applicable field of the machine vision. In this field, tracking a non-rigid object like human are so difficult because of variable shape of this kind of object and the self-occlusion that normally between different parts of the human body occurs.
