Abstract :
This paper presents a new contour tracking method based on active contour model. In this method, we introduce a new image space that integrates the idea of multiscale (pyramid) image and spatio-temporal solid. We applied an active contour model shaped like a tube. This model can deal with relatively large shifts of target objects, and can be applicable to movies that has arbitrary length
