Resource Overview

MeanShift, also known as mean shift, is widely applied in clustering, image smoothing, segmentation, and tracking. The shifted mean vector defines a family of kernel functions where the contribution of each sample's shift to the mean shift vector varies based on its distance from the shifted point. By incorporating a weight coefficient that assigns different importance to sample points, MeanSignificantly broadens its application scope. Target tracking using MeanShift is now a mature technique. Fundamentally, the MeanShift algorithm operates as a kernel density estimation method, often implemented through iterative gradient ascent to locate probability density maxima.

Detailed Documentation

MeanShift (mean shift) is a widely used algorithm in clustering, image smoothing, segmentation, and tracking. It defines a family of kernel functions where, through shifted mean vectors, the contribution of each sample's offset to the mean shift vector varies depending on its distance from the shifted point. Additionally, MeanShift incorporates a weight coefficient that assigns different importance levels to sample points, significantly expanding its application range. Notably, target tracking using MeanShift has become a mature technique, while fundamentally it operates as a kernel density estimation algorithm. In practical implementations, the algorithm typically iterates by computing weighted means within kernel windows to converge toward mode locations. Consequently, MeanShift serves as a highly valuable tool across numerous domains.
