Apparatus, system and method for tracking an image target in a system, wherein a system receives an image comprising a plurality of pixels. The received image is processed via a plurality of different recursive motion model kernels in parallel to provide a plurality of kernel outputs, wherein each of the motion model kernels may include a respective pixel mask. Per-pixel energy is estimated of at least some of the plurality of kernel outputs. Velocity of at least one of the image pixels may also be estimated by generating a directional energy vector for each motion model kernel. The per-pixel energy and velocity estimates are fused to produce a fused estimate representing at least some of the motion model kernels for the image. | |
