We propose a framework for optimization problems based on particle filtering (also called Sequential Monte Carlo method). This framework unifies and provides new insight into rand...
A new probabilistic background model based on a Hidden Markov Model is presented. The hidden states of the model enable discrimination between foreground, background and shadow. Th...
In this article we discuss recent work on coarse-graining methods for microscopic stochastic lattice systems. We emphasize the numerical analysis of the schemes, focusing on error ...
Tracking of rigid and articulated objects is usually addressed within a particle filter framework or by correspondence based gradient descent methods. We combine both methods, suc...
Particle filter and mean shift are two successful approaches taken in the pursuit of robust tracking. Both of them have their respective strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, w...
