A self-adaptive heterogeneous multi-core architecture for embedded real-time video object tracking

Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) represents a principal statistical method for tracking objects in video sequences by on-line estimation of the state of a non-linear dynamic system. The performance of individual stages of the SMC algorithm is usually data-dependent, making the prediction of the performance of a real-time capable system difficult and often leading to grossly overestimated and inefficient system designs. Also, the considerable...
