Abstract
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for object tracking from Video images based on segmentation and Kernel based procedure. Many Kernel based object tracking algorithms have been developed during last few years. The computational complexity becomes very high in those kernel based techniques. In our proposed method the target localization problem is minimized using segmentation technique, instead of using mean shift tracking algorithm. Following segmentation technique the localization problem of target candidate gets minimized, and then comparing the target candidate with the target model by using Bhattacharya coefficient the object can easily be detected. So, the object can be tracked with less computational burden and more efficiently. The proposed algorithm is validated with an existing video sequence and another with a real time video sequence.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: The Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (or SIFT) algorithm is a highly robust method to extract and consequently match distinctive invariant features from images that can then be used to reliably match objects in diering images.

Kernel-based object tracking

TL;DR: A new approach toward target representation and localization, the central component in visual tracking of nonrigid objects, is proposed, which employs a metric derived from the Bhattacharyya coefficient as similarity measure, and uses the mean shift procedure to perform the optimization.

Spatiograms versus histograms for region-based tracking

TL;DR: This work shows how to use spatiograms in kernel-based trackers, deriving a mean shift procedure in which individual pixels vote not only for the amount of shift but also for its direction, and shows improved tracking results compared with histograms.
