Summary:This paper describes a new approach to track complex primitives along image sequences - integrating snake-based contour tracking and region-based motion analysis. First, a snake tracks the region outline and performs segmentation. Then the motion of the extracted region is estimated by a dense analysis of the apparent motion over the region, using spatio-temporal image gradients. Finally, this motion measurement is filtered to predict the region location in the next frame, and thus to guide (i.e. to initialize) the tracking snake in the next frame. Therefore, these two approaches collaborate and exchange information to overcome the limitations of each of them. The method is illustrated by experimental results on real images.
