abstract = {In this paper, we propose an effective approach for tracking distribution of objects. The approach uses a competition between a tracked objet and background distributions using active contours. Only the segmentation of the object in the first frame is required for initialization. We evolve the object contour by assigning pixels in a fashion that maximizes the likelihood of the object versus the background. This maximization is implemented using an EM-like algorithm, which evolves the object contour exactly to its boundaries, and adapts the parameters of the object and background distributions. ©2009 IEEE.},

abstract = {In this paper, we propose a novel object tracking algorithm in video sequences. The method is based on object mixture matching between successive frames of the sequence by using active contours. Only the segmentation of the objects in the first frame is required for initialization. The evolution of the object contour on a current frame aims to find the maximum fidelity of the mixture likelihood for the same object between successive frames while having the best fit of the mixture parameters to the homogenous parts of the objects. To permit for a precise and robust tracking, region, boundary and shape information are coupled in the model. The method permits for tracking multi-class objects on cluttered and non-static backgrounds. We validate our approach on examples of tracking performed on real video sequences. © 2007 Taylor & Francis Group.},
