7. METHODS OF OBJECT TRACKING IN VISION SYSTEMS7/14 Mean shift algorithm 1. Calculate model from given previous image in given location. 2. Initialize the location of the target in the current frame and calculate candidate model. 3. Estimate model and candidate similarity in neighbourhood. 4. Iteratively find the most similar area in target image. 5. Update the model
