The goal of this article is to review the state-of-the-art tracking methods, classify them into
different categories, and identify new trends. Object tracking, in general, is a challenging …

We present a survey on maritime object detection and tracking approaches, which are
essential for the development of a navigational system for autonomous ships. The electro …

This report contains a review of visual tracking in monocular video sequences. For the
purpose of this review, the majority of the visual trackers in the literature are divided into …

Object detection is a fundamental step for automated video analysis in many vision
applications. Object detection in a video is usually performed by object detectors or …

Detecting regions of change in multiple images of the same scene taken at different times is
of widespread interest due to a large number of applications in diverse disciplines, including …

Automatic understanding of events happening at a site is the ultimate goal for many visual
surveillance systems. Higher level understanding of events requires that certain lower level …

Accurate detection of moving objects is an important precursor to stable tracking or
recognition. In this paper, we present an object detection scheme that has three innovations …

We propose a tracking method which tracks the complete object regions, adapts to changing
visual features, and handles occlusions. Tracking is achieved by evolving the contour from …

Identifying moving objects is a critical task for many computer vision applications; it provides
a classification of the pixels into either foreground or background. A common approach used …

This paper addresses the problem of recognizing shadows from monochromatic natural
images. Without chromatic information, shadow classification is very challenging because …
