Real-time multiple tracking using a combined technique

This paper considers a real-time multi-object tracking algorithm for rigid and non-rigid objects. The major components of the tracking object system are extraction of the background image, adaptation of the background image, and identification of the extracted object. In each component, we improved existing methods without increasing the complexity of computation. The system was tested on our fish tank experiment that solves dynamic occlusions problems.
