Abstract
A method for tracking an object commences by first establishing the object (12) in a current frame. Thereafter, a background region (202) is established encompassing the object in the current frame. The location for the object (12) is then estimated in a next frame. Next, the propagation of the background region (202) is determined. Finally, the object is segmented from its background based on propagation of the background region, thereby allowing tracking of the object from frame to frame.
