Even though sensor fusion techniques based on particle filters have been applied to object tracking, their implementations have been limited to combining measurements from multip...
Getting trapped in suboptimal local minima is a perennial problem in model based vision, especially in applications like monocular human body tracking where complex nonlinear para...
The H.264/AVC video encoder standard significantly improves the compression efficiency by using variable block-sized Inter (P) and Intra (I) Macroblock (MB) coding modes. In this p...
Given an object model and a black-box measure of similarity between the model and candidate targets, we consider visual object tracking as a numerical optimization problem. During...
Accurate knowledge of depth continues to be of critical importance in robotic systems. Without accurate depth knowledge, tasks such as inspection, tracking, grasping, and collisio...
