Occlusion-handling for improved particle filtering-based tracking

One of the particle filtering uses is object tracking since this technique permits to deal with uncertainty over time met in real time image sequences framework. This uncertainty is as much non-manageable that an object occlusion appears in images. In this paper, we propose an occlusion-handling scheme which significantly improves the tracking performance in presence of partial occlusion. The proposed technique is applied to track a single object in real greyscale image sequences. Results confirm tracking performance enhancement.
