	abstract = {An improved mean shift method for object tracking based on nonparametric clustering and adaptive bandwidth is presented in this paper. Based on partitioning the color space of a tracked object by using a modified nonparametric clustering, an appearance model of the tracked object is built. It captures both the color information and spatial layout of the tracked object. The similarity measure between the target model and the target candidate is derived from the Bhattacharyya coefficient. The kernel bandwidth parameters are automatically selected by maximizing the lower bound of a log-likelihood function, which is derived from a kernel density estimate using the bandwidth matrix and the modified weight function. The experimental results show that the method can converge in an average of 2.6 iterations per frame.},

	abstract = {An adaptive mean shift tracking method for object tracking using multiscale images is presented in this paper. A bandwidth matrix and a Gaussian kernel are used to extend the definition of target model. The method can exactly estimate the position of the tracked object using multiscale images from Gaussian pyramid. The tracking method determines the parameters of kernel bandwidth by maximizing the lower bound of a log-likelihood function, which is derived from a kernel density estimate with the bandwidth matrix and the modified weight function. The experimental results show that it can averagely converge in 2.55 iterations per frame.},
