Abstract

Visual tracking involves generating an inference about the motion of an object from measured image locations in a video sequence. In this paper we present a unified framework that incorporates shape and illumination in the context of visual tracking. The contribution of the work is twofold. First, we introduce a a multiplicative, low dimensional model of illumination that is defined by a linear combination of a set of smoothly changing basis functions. Secondly, we show that a small number of centroids in this new space can be used to represent the illumination conditions existing in the scene. These centroids can be learned from ground truth and are shown to generalize well to other objects of the same class for the scene. Finally we show how this illumination model can be combined with shape in a probabilistic sampling framework. Results of the joint shape-illumination model are demonstrated in the context of vehicle and face tracking in challenging conditions.
