Abstract | This paper presents a robust approach to nonrigid modelling and tracking. The contour of the object is described by an active growing neural gas (A-GNG) network which allows the model to re-deform locally. The approach is novel in that the nodes of the network are described by their geometrical position, the underlying local feature structure of the image, and the distance vector between the modal image and any successive images. A second contribution is the correspondence of the nodes which is measured through the calculation of the topographic product, a topology preserving objective function which quantifies the neighbourhood preservation before and after the mapping. As a result, we can achieve the automatic modelling and tracking of objects without using any annotated training sets. Experimental results have shown the superiority of our proposed method over the original growing neural gas (GNG) network. |
