An Implicit Motion Likelihood for Tracking with Particle Filters

2003
Reports

Abstract

Particle filters are now established as the most popular method for visual tracking. Within this framework, it is generally assumed that the data are temporally independent given the sequence of object states. In this paper, we argue that in general the data are correlated, and that modeling such dependency should improve tracking robustness. To take data correlation into account, we propose a new model which can be interpreted as introducing a likelihood on implicit motion measurements. The proposed model allows to filter out visual distractors when tracking objects with generic models based on shape or color distribution representations, as shown by the reported experiments.

Correlation

In statistics, correlation or dependence is any statistical relationship, whether causal or not, between two random variables or bivariate data. Although in the broadest sense, "correlation" may indicate any type of association, in statistics it usually refers to the degree to which a pair of variables are linearly related. Familiar examples of dependent phenomena include the correlation between the height of parents and their offspring, and the correlation between the price of a good and the quantity the consumers are willing to purchase, as it is depicted in the so-called demand curve.

Data modeling

Data modeling in software engineering is the process of creating a data model for an information system by applying certain formal techniques. It may be applied as part of broader Model-driven engineering (MDD) concept. Data modeling is a process used to define and analyze data requirements needed to support the business processes within the scope of corresponding information systems in organizations. Therefore, the process of data modeling involves professional data modelers working closely with business stakeholders, as well as potential users of the information system.

Data

In common usage and statistics, data (USˈdætə; UKˈdeɪtə) is a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally. A datum is an individual value in a collection of data. Data is usually organized into structures such as tables that provide additional context and meaning, and which may themselves be used as data in larger structures.
