description Template tracking has been extensively investigated in computer vision to track objects for various applications. Tracking based on gradient descent algorithm using image gradient is one of the most popular object tracking method. However, it is difficult to define the relationship between the observed data set and the warping function due to the unobserved heterogeneity of the data set which inevitably results in poor tracking performance. This study proposes a novel method based on hierarchical mixture of expert to perform robust, real‐time tracking from stationary cameras. By extending the idea of hyperplane approximation, the proposed approach establishes a hierarchical mixture of generalised linear regression model instead of a single model which reduces the non‐linear error. The experiments’ results show significant improvement over the traditional hyperplane approximation (HA) approach.
