In this paper, we propose a novel correlation particle filter (CPF) for robust visual tracking. Instead of a simple combination of a correlation filter and a particle filter, we exploit and complement the strength of each one. Compared with existing tracking methods based on correlation filters and particle filters, the proposed tracker has four major advantages: 1) it is robust to partial and total occlusions, and can recover from lost tracks by maintaining multiple hypotheses; 2) it can effectively handle large-scale variation via a particle sampling strategy; 3) it can efficiently maintain multiple modes in the posterior density using fewer particles than conventional particle filters, resulting in low computational cost; and 4) it can shepherd the sampled particles toward the modes of the target state distribution using a mixture of correlation filters, resulting in robust tracking performance. Extensive experimental results on challenging benchmark data sets demonstrate that the proposed CPF tracking algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods.
