Classical mean shift tracking algorithm doesnt show good performance when the tracked objects move fast, change in size or pose. This paper proposes an improved mean shift method used for vehicle tracking. Firstly, a position prediction model based on second order auto-regression process is used to find the initial position of mean shift iteration, reduce times of iteration and enhance the tracking accuracy. Secondly, we employ a position search method based on the weight image to improve the tracking result when the result of basic mean shift tracking is not good. The proposed algorithm is tested in a real traffic video to track a vehicle changing in size and pose with more accurate result than basic mean shift tracking algorithm.
