The contours evolve according to a PDE that incorporates optical ow and intensity measures and converge towards the silhouette of the moving person, see gure 9. For more details, see [23, 25, 24]. Projection of the 3D model In order to compare the 3D model with the contours segmented in the images, we project the 3D model in each image. The di erences between the two projections give us an estimation of the di erences between the pose of the 3D model and the real pose. To do so, we ....

The absence of domain knowledge about the object shape, however, may cause inaccuracies in the tracking, especially when the motion is nonrigid. In the methods of the second class, the contour is represented as a border of a region [12], 13] The strength of this approach is that it allows for contour representation of an arbitrary shape.

It is used by Paragios et al. in [12] to track objects moving against a static background. The method employs a modified level set al..gorithm to propagate the contour toward the edges. The method, however, will fail when the camera is moving. In [13] the tracking is performed by means of motion segmentation. The watershed algorithm ....

....tracking. In model based tracking, either static [1 2] or dynamic [34] object model can be used to track specific targets. However, this requires the target objects to be known in advance and is highly application dependent as object models differ from one application to another. ModeMess tracking [5 10], on the other hand, does not rely on object model to find correspondences between objects being tracked. Instead, it constructs correspondences between objects from motion information or generic object features like color, histogram, texture, etc. The advantage of this approach is that different ....

Further, since the RCS transform also provides an estimate of the alpha channel near the snake contour, it can be used as a rotoscoping tool. Paragios and Deriche [129 132] present a unified approach to detecting and tracking multiple moving objects in a static observer temporal sequence (i.e. they assume the camera is not moving) based on the propagation of level set curves. Motion detection uses a statistical framework to approximate the observed inter frame ....

....Activity in the area of object based segmentation in the last decade soon revealed that fully automatic, general object based segmentation of image sequences is a chimera. On the one hand, the most popular assumptions that lead to robust schemes such as the assumption that the camera is static [15] or the assumption that the objects are rigidly moving [18] are too strict for general scenes. On the other hand, depending on the application and the user, the goal of the segmentation may vary; the problem of general object based segmentation is therefore inherently ill posed. In order to ....

This so called level set formulation was initially proposed by Osher and Sethian [18] and has been extensively applied to curves [2, 8, 19, 15] and to a less extent to surfaces [12, 5, 3] Although the Eulerian formulation has several advantages like the fact that it ensures that the evolving surface does not self intersect and allows avoiding local minima where a Lagrangian formulation can not (see for example the discussion on min max ....

In this direction there are two main approaches: the boundary based (they usually referred to as edge based approaches) rely on the information provided by the object boundaries (shape properties) [16] while the region based approaches rely on information provided by the entire region [2, 11] texture and motion based properties) The idea of using boundary based features to provide tracking has been widely adopted.

These models are quite flexible due to the fact that no restriction is imposed on the shape of the target nor on the type of motion: rigid or deformable [3, 9, 16]. These methods require a good initialization step, since the initial contour converges iteratively toward the solution of a partial differential equation. Region based methods use a motion estimation segmentation technique. In this case the estimation of the velocity of the target is based on a ....

....modules under a common framework [2] The objective of the proposed work is to provide a general framework that incorporates boundary based and region based tracking modules under the geodesic active contour framework. Following our previous work on tracking using geodesic active contours [15], we propose a considerable extension that incorporates region based information to the existing boundary based information. This extension increases the robustness and liberate the model from the initialization step. We assume that the difference frame (between the current and the background ....

The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we propose the modeling of the the intensity and the motion based tracking information using low level statistics, while in Section 3 we introduce Geodesic Active Region model for tracking. The minimization of model appears in ....

The ideas presented in this paper can also be applied to develop dioeerent computer vision applications such as motion detection and tracking [11, 10], shape from shading, The outline of this paper is as follows : In section 2, we rst present the approach we have developed to specify interactively the virtual 3D plane.
