Abstract

A novel visual tracking algorithm based on visual node (VN) prediction is proposed in this paper. First, we count the distribution area and gray levels of the larger probability density in the VN. Then, all the frequencies of the VN are calculated, of which the weaker frequency gradient is removed by filtration. The stronger frequency gradient of the VN is reserved. Finally, we estimate the optimal object position by maximizing the likelihood of node clusters, which are formed by VNs. Extensive experiments show that the proposed approach has good adaptability to variable-structure tracking and outperforms the state-of-the-art trackers.
