1. A method for tracking an object using sequential Monte Carlo (SMS) methods, the method comprising:
- initializing tracking;
selecting a camera have a field of view;
selecting an object to be tracked from the camera field of view;
obtaining a target model of the tracked object;
generating a first particle of the target model;
predicting a next time'"'"'s particle by a dynamic model; and
calculating features of the first particle.

Abstract
A system for tracking objects across an area having a network of cameras with overlapping and non-overlapping fields of view. The system may use a combination of color, shape, texture and/or multi-resolution histograms for object representation or target modeling for the tacking of an object from one camera to another. The system may include user and output interfacing.
