A closed-loop local-global integrated hierarchical estimator CLGIHE approach for object tracking using multiple cameras is proposed. The Kalman filter is used in both the local and global estimates. In contrast to existing approaches where the local and global estimations are performed independently the proposed approach combines local and global estimates into one for mutual compensation. Consequently the Kalman-filter-based data fusion optimally adjusts the fusion gain based on environment conditions derived from each local estimator. The global estimation outputs are included in the local estimation process. Closed-loop mutual compensation between the local and global estimations is thus achieved to obtain higher tracking accuracy. A set of image sequences from multiple views are applied to evaluate performance. Computer simulation and experimental results indicate that the proposed approach successfully tracks objects. 1. Introduction Visual object tracking is an important issue in computer vision. It has applications in many fields including visual surveillance
