 The origin of MC smoothing can be traced back to Genshiro Kitagawa. 
 In his work \cite{kitagawa1996monte} he presented the simplest form of smoothing as an extension to the particle filter. 
 This algorithm is often called the filter-smoother since it runs online and a smoothing is provided while filtering. 
-This approach can produce an accurate approximation of the filtering posterior $p(\vec{q}_{t} \mid  \vec{o}_{1:t})$ with computational complexity of only $\mathcal{O}(N)$.

 Based on this, more advanced methods like the forward-backward smoother \cite{doucet2000} and backward simulation \cite{Godsill04:MCS} were developed.
 Both methods are running backwards in time to reweight a set of particles recursively by using future observations. 
 Algorithmic details will be shown in section \ref{sec:smoothing}.

+The early work of \cite{isard1998smoothing} demonstrates the possibilities of smoothing for visual tracking.
+They used a combination of the CONDENSATION particle filter with a forward-backward smoother. 
+Based on this pioneering approach, many different solutions for visual and multi-target tracking have been developed \cite{Perez2004}.
