OPTICAL TRACKING SYSTEM

Abstract

Image Processing is a vast field which found its applications in Biomedical, Defense, Industrial, and Security purposes etc. Object tracking uses image processing algorithms to detect a moving object and follow it. Object tracking is important because it enables several important applications such as: Security and surveillance - to recognize people, to provide better sense of security using visual information; Medical therapy - to improve the quality of life for physical therapy patients and disabled people; Retail space instrumentation - to analyze shopping behavior of customers, to enhance building and environment design; Video abstraction - to obtain automatic annotation of videos, to generate object-based summaries; Traffic management - to analyze flow, to detect accidents; Video editing - to eliminate cumbersome human-operator interaction, to design futuristic video effects; Interactive games . We have tried to design some efficient object tracking algorithms.
