Multi-Kernel Object Tracking

In this paper, we present an object tracking algorithm for the low-frame-rate video in which objects have fast motion. The conventional mean-shift tracking fails in case the relocation of an object is large and its regions between the consecutive frames do not overlap. We provide a solution to this problem by using multiple kernels centered at the high motion areas. In addition, we improve the convergence properties of the mean-shift by integrating two likelihood terms, background and template similarities, in the iterative update mechanism. Our simulations prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
