Model based tracking is one key component of many systems today, e.g. within video surveillance or human computer interfaces (HCI). Our approach consists of a combination of particle filters (PFs) and active appearance models (AAMs): the PFAAM. It combines the robustness of PFs with the precision of AAMs. Experimental results are given. PFAAM shows superior perfomance compared to both standard AAMs and PFs using AAMs as cues only, i.e. without using a local optimization loop.
