Abstract
A novel object representation for tracking is proposed. The tracked object is represented as a constellation of spatially localised linear predictors which are learned on a single training image. In the learning stage, sets of pixels whose intensities allow for optimal least square predictions of the transformations are selected as a support of the linear predictor.
The approach comprises three contributions: learning object specific linear predictors, explicitly dealing with the predictor precision – computational complexity trade-off and selecting a view-specific set of predictors suitable for global object motion estimate. Robustness to occlusion is achieved by RANSAC procedure.
The learned tracker is very efficient, achieving frame rate generally higher than 30 frames per second despite the Matlab implementation.
