Summary: It was recently proposed an object tracking method, which is able to deal with object occlusions and group tracking, using Bayesian networks. The Bayesian network (BN) tracker has shown promising results in difficult situations but its architecture is limited to a maximum of 2 parents/2 children per node, in order to avoid the combinatorial explosion and difficult network generation procedures from the video signal. This paper addresses the major limitation of the BN tracker and presents a method to generalize the tracker to cope with arbitrary topologies, allowing the tracker to operate in more complex scenes.
