In this work, the tracking problem is formulated as a nonlinear function optimization problem so the main objective is to optimize the fitness function between the 3D human model and the image observations. In order to improve the tracking performance, new shadow detection, removal and a level-set mechanism are applied during silhouette extraction. Both the silhouette and edge likelihood are used in the fitness function. Experiments using HumanEva-II dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach performance is considerably better than baseline algorithm which uses the Annealed Particle Filter (APF). © 2015 SPIE. date: 2015 publisher: SPIE official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84925433489&doi=10.1117%2f12.2178884&partnerID=40&md5=8c77858f9d90dc4cae8688cef04e63bf id_number: 10.1117/12.2178884 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering volume: 9443 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781628415582 issn: 0277786X citation: Saini, S. and Rambli, D.R.B.A. and Sulaiman, S.B. and Zakaria, M.N.B. and Tomi, A.B.
