The ALIEN Visual Tracker application IS OUT!

(available for Windows7 64bit).

The ALIEN visual tracker is a generic visual object tracker achieving state of the art performance. The object is selected at run-time by drawing a bounding box around it and then its appearance is learned and tracked as time progresses. The ALIEN tracker has been shown to outperform other competitive trackers, especially in the case of long-term tracking, large amount of camera blur, low frame rate videos and severe occlusions including full object disappearance.

The scientific paper introducing the technology behind the tracker will appear at the 12th European Conference in Computer Vision 2012 under the following title:

• FaceHugger: The ALIEN Tracker Applied to Faces. In Proceedings of European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) - DEMO Session -- 2012 Florence Italy.

A real time demo of the released downloadable application (http://www.micc.unifi.it/pernici/) will also be given during the conference [1].
