A Hierarchical Model Fusion (HMF) framework for object tracking in video sequences is presented. The Bayesian tracking equations are extended to account for multiple object models. With these equations as a basis a particle filter algorithm is developed to efficiently cope with the multi-modal distributions emerging from cluttered scenes. The update of each object model takes place hierarchically so that the lower dimensional object models, which are updated first, guide the search in the parameter space of the subsequent object models to relevant regions thus reducing the computational complexity. A method for object model adaptation is also developed. We apply the proposed framework by fusing salient points, blobs, and edges as features and verify experimentally its effectiveness in challenging conditions.
