Abstract

Methods of tracking of multiple objects or people in video sequences have applications in many fields such as surveillance, art, transport or biology. This, over four decades old area is still very active, with multiple new contributions presented every year. Tracking methods must solve intricate problems, for example occlusion of many objects, crowded scenes, illumination of different places and motion of camera. This paper presents a brief survey of recent developments in video tracking based methods, focused mainly on the last three years. The surveyed methods are divided into two groups: tracking by detection, which includes methods that solve the problem of time-linking objects detected in all video frames, and tracking by correlation, containing methods that follow a selected object using cross correlation. The reviewed methods are collected in a table that lists for each method the benchmark datasets used for its evaluation, implementation environment, and whether it can track single or multiple objects.
