Title
Nonparametric modelling and tracking with active-GNG
Abstract
In this paper we address the correspondence problem, with its application to nonrigid tracking and unsupervised modelling, as a nonparametric, active-linking topology learning problem. Unlike existing soft competitive learning methods, Active Growing Neural Gas (A-GNG) has both global and local properties which allows part of the network to reconfigure while tracking. In addition, A-GNG uses a number of features (e.g. topographic product, local grey-level and map transformation) so that the topological relations are preserved and nodes correspondences are retained between tracked configurations. Experimental results in a sequence of hand gestures and artificial data have shown the superiority of our proposed method over the original GNG.
