Abstract
We use colour mixture models for real-time colour-based object localisation, tracking and segmentation in dynamic scenes. Within such a framework, we address the issues of model order selection, modelling scene background and model adaptation in time. Experimental results are given to demonstrate our approach in different scale and lighting conditions.
