Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel visual tracking method based on ensemble learning using logistic regression model. We adopt logistic regression to achieve ensemble classifier to deal with object tracking problem. By using fast computable features, our approach learns the appearance of the target during tracking. And thus, the proposed method is able to adapt online to target appearance changes and its surrounding background. Moreover, ensemble learning converts rough rules of thumb into highly accurate prediction rule. Experimental results show that our method outperforms relative trackers.
