Abstract
In this paper, a novel and robust method which exploits the spatiotemporal context for orderless and blurred visual tracking is presented. This lets the tracker adapt to both rigid and deformable objects on-line even if the image is blurred. We observe that a RGB vector of an image which is resized into a small fixed size can keep enough useful information. Based on this observation and computational reasons, we propose to resize the windows of both template and candidate target images into 2×2 and use Euclidean Distance to compute the similarity between these two RGB image vectors for the preliminary screening. We then apply spatio-temporal context based on Bayesian framework to further compute a confidence map for obtaining the best target location. Experimental results on challenging video sequences in MATLAB without code optimization show the proposed tracking method outperforms eight state-of-the-art methods.
