A Survey: Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Sparse Representation

In this paper, we introduce the development of object tracking. In particular, we introduce several kinds of target tracking algorithm based on sparse coding, including a robust visual tracking method by casting tracking as a sparse approximation problem in a particle filter framework, kernel sparse tracking with compressive sensing, and real-time compressive tracking. Show the concept of sparse representation and compressed sensing, analyze the meaning of the sparse representation in the target tracking, and compare the algorithm.
