Abstract

This paper presents a novel particle allocation approach to particle filtering for multiple object tracking which minimizes the total tracking distortion given a fixed number of particles over a video sequence. Under the framework of distributed multiple object tracking, we propose the dynamic proposal variance and optimal particle number allocation algorithm for multi-object tracking to allocate particles among multiple targets as well as multiple frames. Experimental results show the superior performance of our proposed algorithm to traditional particle allocation methods, i.e. a fixed number of particles for each object in each frame. To the best of our knowledge, our approach is the first to provide an optimal allocation of a fixed number of particles among multiple objects and multiple frames.
