Abstract

A computer-implemented method for tracking one or more objects in a sequence of images includes generating a dictionary based on object locations in a first image included in the sequence of images. One or more object landmark candidates are identified in the sequence of images and a plurality of tracking hypothesis for the object landmark candidates are generated. A first tracking hypothesis is selected from the plurality of tracking hypothesis based on the dictionary.
