Focusing on points belonging to regions described by a global dominant motion, the proposed tracking system is linear. Since we focus on the case where the system depends on the images, the tracker is built from a Conditional Linear Filter, derived through the use of a conditional linear minimum variance estimator. This conditional tracker authorizes to significantly improve results in some general situation. In particular, such an approach allows us to deal in a simple way with the tracking of points following trajectories with abrupt changes and occlusions %U http://www.irisa.fr/vista/Papers/2004_accv_arnaud.pdf %8 January %D 2004
