Abstract:
A method and apparatus for pattern tracking. The method includes the steps of performing a foreground detection process to determine a hand-pill-hand region, performing image segmentation to separate the determined hand portion of the hand-pill-hand region from the pill portion thereof, building three reference models, one for each hand region and one for the pill region, initializing a dynamic model for tracking the hand-pill-hand region, determining N possible next positions for the hand-pill-hand region, for each such determined position, determining various features, building a new model for that region in accordance with the determined position, for each position, comparing the new model and a reference model, determining a position whose new model generates a highest similarity score, determining whether that similarity score is greater than a predetermined threshold, and wherein if it is determined that the similarity score is greater than the predetermined threshold, the object is tracked.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the reference models are combined into a single reference model.
