Region Tracking using Dynamic Programming

Abstract

The objects contained in a sequence of images may be tracked from frame to frame by defining a comparison function which evaluates the difference between descriptions of object regions in adjacent frames. One can then apply dynamic programming to discover the most temporally consistent object region. Removing all descriptions of this region from frame to frame allows dynamic programming to be reapplied iteratively.
