Abstract
A method and apparatus for tracking multiple objects in a video sequence. The method defines a group of objects as a configuration, selects a configuration for a current video frame, predicts a configuration using a two-level process and computes the likelihood of the configuration. Using this method in an iterative manner on a sequence of frames, tracks the object group through the sequence.
