Abstract—Contour base Object tracking is an important task in computer vision. The problem involves the tracking of the boundary contour of a moving and deforming object in a sequence of images. Normally the problem is solved as follows. First, the contour of the object is obtained in the first frame. Once, a rough contour of the desired structure is available on the first image of the sequence, the system automatically outlines the contours on the subsequent images at video rate. Contour base Object tracking is useful in many areas such as motion based recognition, automated surveillance, humancomputer interaction, traffic monitoring, vehicle navigation etc. Complexity in the problem may arise due to noise in the images, complex object motion, complex object shapes, occlusion etc.
A. Object Representation We mark the object in the first frame using an initial contour and represent it by estimating its color histogram. The colors having very low frequency in the color histogram are removed to remove the effect of noise. Use of color histogram to represent the object is motivated by the fact that it is a stable way to represent object that works well for varying illumination conditions [8]. B. Object Tracking The state of the contour showing the current position of the object is defined using coordinates of its centroid, its velocity and acceleration. The next state of the contour is predicted based on the states seen so far using Kalman filter [9]. To get the correct contour in the subsequent frames in our approach, first centroid of the contour is obtained in the new frame and then the best fit contour is estimated by searching the neighborhood of the contour stochastically. Best fit contour C is a contour which has the maximum energy E, where E is defined as nF − nB . Here, nF is the total number of pixels lying inside the contour which belong to foreground object and nB is total number of pixels lying inside the contour which belong to background. Pixel p (which lies inside the contour) is said to be the foreground pixel if (pc − c)T Σ−1 (pc − c)
