Abstract
This paper addresses robust feature tracking. We extend the
well-known Shi-Tomasi-Kanade tracker by introducing an automatic scheme
for rejecting spurious features. We employ a simple and efficient
outlier rejection rule, called X84, and prove that its theoretical
assumptions are satisfied in the feature tracking scenario. Experiments
with real and synthetic images confirm that our algorithm makes good
features track better; we show a quantitative example of the benefits
introduced by the algorithm for the case of fundamental matrix
estimation. The complete code of the robust tracker is available via ftp
