X Abstract

The mean-shift algorithm is an efficient technique for tracking 2D blobs through an image. Although the scale of the mean-shift kernel is a crucial parameter, there is presently no clean mechanism for choosing or updating scale while tracking blobs that are changing in size. We adapt Lindeberg's (1998) theory of feature scale selection based on local maxima of differential scale-space filters to the problem of selecting kernel scale for mean-shift blob tracking. We show that a difference of Gaussian (DOG) mean-shift kernel enables efficient tracking of blobs through scale space. Using this kernel requires generalizing the mean-shift algorithm to handle images that contain negative sample weights.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
