Abstract

In this paper, a novel and robust tracking method based on efficient manifold ranking is proposed. For tracking, tracked results are taken as labeled nodes while candidate samples are taken as unlabeled nodes, and the goal of tracking is to search the unlabeled sample that is the most relevant with existing labeled nodes by manifold ranking algorithm. Meanwhile, we adopt non-adaptive random projections to preserve the structure of original image space, and a very sparse measurement matrix is used to efficiently extract low-dimensional compres-sive features for object representation. Furthermore, spatial context is used to improve the robustness to appearance variations. Experimental results on some challenging video sequences show the proposed algorithm outperforms six state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and robustness.
