There has been considerable research interest recently, in the areas of real time contour tracking and active shape models. This paper demonstrates how dynamic filtering can be used in combination with a modal-based flexible shape model to track an articulated non-rigid body in motion. The results show the method being used to track the silhouette of a walking pedestrian in real time. The active shape model used was generated automatically from real image data and incorporates variability in shape due to orientation as well as object flexibility. A Kalman filter is used to control spatial scale for feature search over successive frames. Iterative refinement allows accurate contour localisation where feasible. The shape model incorporates knowledge of the likely shape of the contour and speeds up tracking by reducing the number of system parameters. A further increase in speed is obtained by filtering the shape parameters independently.<>
