Catching moving objects with snakes for motion tracking

We propose an efficient method for tracking several objects moving through a sequence of monocular images against a non-uniform background. Each object entering the scene is intercepted by an active contour model which locks on it as long as it moves in the scene. The procedure does not necessitate...

Summary:We propose an efficient method for tracking several objects moving through a sequence of monocular images against a non-uniform background. Each object entering the scene is intercepted by an active contour model which locks on it as long as it moves in the scene. The procedure does not necessitate an interactive initialization. Some results are presented in case of real traffic scenes.
