“…To design a robust tracking algorithm in spite of partial occlusion, researchers have developed sophisticated appearance models through statistical analysis [15], robust statistics [1,10], model analysis [12], learning occlusion with likelihoods [21], and sparse representation [24,35,34,5]. Among them, methods part-wisely modeling object appearance [1,13,9,27,18,29,25] become more popular partially because of their favorable property of robustness against partial occlusion.…”
