N2 - This paper proposes a new visual tracking framework and demonstrates its merits via mobile robot experiments. An image sequence from the vision system of a mobile robot is not static when a mobile robot is moving, since slipping and vibration occur. These problems cause image blurring. Therefore, in this paper, we address the problem of robust object tracking under blurring and introduce a novel robust visual tracking framework based on the arbitration of the AdaBoost-based detection method and the appearance-based detection method to overcome the blurring problem. The proposed framework consists of three parts: (1) distortion error compensation and feature extraction using the Modified Discrete Gaussian–Hermite Moment (MDGHM) and fuzzy-based distortion error compensation, (2) object detection using arbitration of appearance- and feature-based object detection, and (3) object tracking using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed framework, mobile robot visual tracking experiments are carried out. The results show that the proposed framework is more robust against blurring than the conventional feature- and appearance-based methods.
