The document discusses object detection and tracking using statistical and stochastic techniques. It describes using mixture of Gaussians for background modeling, principal component analysis for feature extraction, hidden Markov models for object modeling, and Kalman filtering for tracking objects. The proposed method aims to effectively detect and track multiple people in occluded environments and adapt to changes in illumination, color, and outdoor weather conditions. It provides results of tracking single and multiple objects in video frames and compares tracking errors of different methods.
