The idea of gridding for color histogram is proposed, which grants specific statistical property to the histogram through a decomposition phase followed by a recombination stage, and a thorough comparison of the modern similarity functions and model update techniques in RGB colorspace reveals that this method in combination with established similarity measures, enhances the tracking performance.
