Bags of Affine Subspaces for Robust Object Tracking
We propose an adaptive tracking algorithm where the object is modelled as a
continuously updated bag of affine subspaces, with each subspace constructed
from the object's appearance over several consecutive frames. In contrast to
linear subspaces, affine subspaces explicitly model the origin of subspaces.
Furthermore, instead of using a brittle point-to-subspace distance during the
search for the object in a new frame, we propose to use a subspace-to-subspace
distance by representing candidate image areas also as affine subspaces.
Distances between subspaces are then obtained by exploiting the non-Euclidean
geometry of Grassmann manifolds. Experiments on challenging videos (containing
object occlusions, deformations, as well as variations in pose and
illumination) indicate that the proposed method achieves higher tracking
accuracy than several recent discriminative trackers.Comment: in International Conference on Digital Image Computing: Techniques

Realtime Multilevel Crowd Tracking using Reciprocal Velocity Obstacles
We present a novel, realtime algorithm to compute the trajectory of each
pedestrian in moderately dense crowd scenes. Our formulation is based on an
adaptive particle filtering scheme that uses a multi-agent motion model based
on velocity-obstacles, and takes into account local interactions as well as
physical and personal constraints of each pedestrian. Our method dynamically
changes the number of particles allocated to each pedestrian based on different
confidence metrics. Additionally, we use a new high-definition crowd video
dataset, which is used to evaluate the performance of different pedestrian
tracking algorithms. This dataset consists of videos of indoor and outdoor
scenes, recorded at different locations with 30-80 pedestrians. We highlight
the performance benefits of our algorithm over prior techniques using this
dataset. In practice, our algorithm can compute trajectories of tens of
pedestrians on a multi-core desktop CPU at interactive rates (27-30 frames per
second). To the best of our knowledge, our approach is 4-5 times faster than
prior methods, which provide similar accuracy
Online Metric-Weighted Linear Representations for Robust Visual Tracking
In this paper, we propose a visual tracker based on a metric-weighted linear
representation of appearance. In order to capture the interdependence of
different feature dimensions, we develop two online distance metric learning
methods using proximity comparison information and structured output learning.
The learned metric is then incorporated into a linear representation of
appearance.
We show that online distance metric learning significantly improves the
robustness of the tracker, especially on those sequences exhibiting drastic
appearance changes. In order to bound growth in the number of training samples,
we design a time-weighted reservoir sampling method.
Moreover, we enable our tracker to automatically perform object
identification during the process of object tracking, by introducing a
collection of static template samples belonging to several object classes of
interest. Object identification results for an entire video sequence are
achieved by systematically combining the tracking information and visual
recognition at each frame. Experimental results on challenging video sequences
demonstrate the effectiveness of the method for both inter-frame tracking and
object identification.Comment: 51 pages. Appearing in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and
