Abstract

A novel algorithm for tracking by shape with deforming prediction is proposed. The algorithm is based on the similarity of the predicted and actual object shape. Second order approximation for feature point movement by Taylor expansion is adopted for shape prediction, and the similarity is measured by using chamfer matching of the predicted and the actual shape. Chamfer matching is also used to detect the feature point movements to predict the object deformation. The proposed algorithm is applied to the tracking of a skier and showed a good tracking and shape prediction performance.
