Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the visual multi-object tracking in the presence of cluttered scenes. A improved algorithm of fusing multi-source information including location and color evidences were introduced based on Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) and Particle Filters (PF). Results showed that the conflict strategy and DSmT combination model were available and the proposed approach exhibited a significantly better performance for dealing with high conflict between evidences than a conventional PF. The suggested approach can easily be generalized to deal with larger number of visual multi-object and additional cues in the presence of cluttered scenes.
