In this paper, we use Residual Vector Quantization (RVQ) for multi-target tracking. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported application of RVQ to any form of video processing. We implement a completely automatic method of initializing RVQ encoder and decoder codebooks from targets in a crowded scenario, and then use those codebooks to subsequently detect and track targets.
