Visual Object Tracking with Online Learning on Riemannian Manifolds by One-Class Support Vector Machines
Paper in proceeding, 2014

This paper addresses issues in video object tracking. We propose a novel method where tracking is regarded as a one-class classification problem of domain-shift objects. The proposed tracker is inspired by the fact that the positive samples can be bounded by a closed hypersphere generated by one-class support vector machines (SVM), leading to a solution for robust learning of target model online. The main novelties of the paper include: (a) represent the target model by a set of positive samples as a cluster of points on Riemannian manifolds; (b) perform online learning of target model as a dynamic cluster of points flowing on the manifold, in an alternate manner with tracking; (c) formulate geodesic-based kernel function for one-class SVM on Riemannian manifolds under the log-Euclidean metric. Experiments are conducted on several videos, results have provided support to the proposed method.
