Abstract
Object tracking is an important topic in the field of computer vision. Commonly used color-based trackers are based on a fixed set of color features such as RGB or HSV and, as a result, fail to adapt to changing illumination conditions and background clutter. These drawbacks can be overcome to an extent by using an adaptive framework which selects for each frame of a sequence the features that best discriminate the object from the background. In this paper, we use such an adaptive feature selection method embedded into a particle filter mechanism and show that our tracking method is robust to lighting changes and background distractions. Different experiments also show that the proposed method outperform other approaches.
