Most visual multi-target tracking techniques in the literature employ a detection routine to map the image data to point measurements that are usually further processed by a filter. In this paper, we present a visual tracking technique based on a multi-target filtering algorithm that operates directly on the image observations and does not require any detection nor training patterns. Instead, we use the recent history of image data for non-parametric background subtraction and apply an efficient multi-target filtering technique, known as the multi-Bernoulli filter, on the resulting grey scale image data. In our experiments, we applied our method to track multiple people in three video sequences from the CAVIAR dataset. The results show that our method can automatically track multiple interacting targets and quickly finds targets entering or leaving the scene. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
