A Viterbi tracker for local features
نویسندگان
چکیده
The long term tracking of sparse local features in an image is important for many applications including camera calibration for stereo applications, camera or global motion estimation and people surveillance. The majority of existing tracking frameworks are based on some kind of prediction/correction idea e.g. KLT and Particle Filters. However, given a careful selection of interest points throughout the sequence, the problem of tracking can be solved with the Viterbi algorithm. This work introduces a novel approach to interest point selection for tracking using the Mean Shift algorithm over short time windows. The resulting points are then articulated within a Viterbi algorithm for creating very long term tracking data. The tracks are shown to be more accurate than traditional KLT implementations and also do not suffer from accumulation of error with time.

A HMM-Based Pitch Tracker for Audio Queries
In this paper we present an approach to the transcription of musical queries based on a hidden Markov model (HMM). The HMM is used to model the audio features related to the singing voice, and the transcription is obtained through Viterbi decoding. We report our preliminary work on evaluation of the system.

متن کاملAcoustic backing-off in the local distance computation for robust automatic speech recognition
In this paper we propose to introduce backing-off in the acoustic contributions of the local distance functions used during Viterbi decoding as an operationalisation of missing feature theory for increased recognition robustness. Acoustic backing-off effectively removes the detrimental influence of outlier values from the local decisions in the Viterbi algorithm. It does so without the need for...
