Abstract (EN)

In this paper, we study the tracking of de-formable shapes in sequences of images. Our target application is the tracking of clouds in satellite image. We propose to use a recent state-of-the-art method for off-the-grid sparse analysis to describe clouds in image as mixtures of 2D atoms. Then, we introduce an algorithm to handle the tracking with its specificities: apparition or disappearance of objects, merging, and splitting. This method provides similar numerical outputs as the recent state-of-the-art alternatives, while being more flexible, and providing additional information on, e.g., cloud surface brightness.
