Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for feature selection for object tracking. One of the methods includes: obtaining first feature points of an object in a first image of a scene captured by a camera; obtaining a second image of the scene captured by the camera after the first image was captured; determining whether a motion prediction of the object is available that indicates an area of the second image where the object is likely located; in response to determining that the motion prediction of the object is available, identifying, in the area of the second image where the object is likely located, second feature points that satisfy a similarity threshold for the first feature points in the first image; and detecting the object in the second image using the identified second feature points.
