Abstract

In order to solve the variation of target appearance and background influence to the visual tracking, we extend the robust fragment-based tracker to an adaptive tracker by selecting features with an online feature ranking mechanism, and the target model is updated according to the similarity between the initial and current models, which makes the tracker more robust. What is more, we reposition the integral histogram’s bin’s structure and that makes our tracker quicker. The proposed algorithm has been compared with fragment-based tracker, and the results proved that our method provides better performance.
