Definition
Appearance-based human tracking is the task of tracking the areas that belong to a person over a set of consecutive frames in a video, where the measurements are made based on the appearance of the human body such as color, intensity, edge, gradient, texture, shape, and their combination.
Background
Various human tracking algorithms have been proposed so far, but the focus of each algorithm is different. Appearance-based human tracking is an algorithm to track human based on the similarity between the current appearance model and the observation from an input image; the control and search algorithms in tracking are arbitrary. Several different features have been employed including color, edge, gradient, texture, shape, etc., and multiple features are often integrated together for more robust...
