Abstract

This work presents a method for the visual tracking of articulated targets in image sequences in real time. Each part of the target object is considered as a region of interest and tracked by a parametric transformation. Prior geometric and dynamic informations about the target are introduced with a Kalman filter to guide the evolution of the tracking process of regions. An articulated model with two areas is proposed and applied to track pedestrians in the urban image sequences.
