Short Description of my PhD Project

Currently we are working on visual object tracking in video sequences. The main aim is to track objects with as few constraints as possible. To this end, instead of focusing on the object, we focus on the difference between the object and its surrounding background. The final goal of the project is to use tracking to boost object recognition task.
