"Object Tracking based on Features and Structures";
Talk: Features and Structures (FEAST 2014), Stockholm, Schweden (invited); 2014-08-24.

In recent years, we have been studying the potential of
graph-based methods and representations in the
fi
eld of video
object tracking [1], [2]. Our aim is to track rigid (e.g. man-
made objects) and articulated objects (e.g. humans) through
challenging situations like distractors and occlusions. Further-
more, the output should go beyond a single trajectory of the
center of mass of the object. Especially for articulated objects,
we are interested in the local motion of the parts of the object
(e.g. limbs of a human body). To achieve this aim, we propose
to represent and to track target objects by a combination of
appearance and structure.
