A significant limitation of traditional template-based trackers is their inability to handle out-of-plane rotation, which can cause total self-occlusion of the target. We present a simple extension to template-based tracking that overcomes this problem. A forward correlation-based search for computing the transformation (displacement and scale) between two image frames is augmented with a backw...

A new volume tracking method is introduced for tracking interfaces in three-dimensional (3D) geometries partitioned with orthogonal hexahedra. The method approximates interface geometries as piecewise planar, and advects volumes in a single unsplit step using fully multidimensional fluxes that have their definition based in backward-trajectory remapping. By using multidimensional unsplit advect...

A control scheme is proposed for the backward line tracking problem of a truck with trailer. It combines two di erent regulators, one for backward motion and the other for forward, in a switching scheme that assures convergence to the desired line. The scheme has been implemented and successfully used to reverse a radio-controlled vehicle.

We present a framework for Tensor-based subspace Tracking via Kronecker-structured projections (TeTraKron). TeTraKron allows to extend arbitrary matrix-based subspace tracking schemes to track the tensor-based subspace estimate. The latter can be computed via a structured projection applied to the matrix-based subspace estimate which enforces the multi-dimensional structure in a computationally...

This paper proposes a novel tracking framework with adaptive features and constrained labels (AFCL) to handle illumination variation, occlusion and appearance changes caused by the variation of positions. The novel ensemble classifier, including the Forward-Backward error and the location constraint is applied, to get the precise coordinates of the promising bounding boxes. The Forward-Backward...

This paper presents a backward Euler stabilized-based control strategy applied to a neutral point clamped (NPC) back-to-back connected five level converters. A generalized method is used to obtain the back-to-back NPC converter system model. The backward Euler stabilized-based control strategy uses one set of calculations to compute the optimum voltage vector needed to reach the references and ...
