REAL TIME IMPLEMENTATION OF OBJECT TRACKING THROUGH WEBCAM

Sherin Cherian, C.Senthil Singh

Abstract: Real time object detection and tracking is an important task in various computer vision applications. For robust object tracking the factors like object shape variation, partial and full occlusion, scene illumination variation will create significant problems. We introduce object detection and tracking approach that combines Prewitt edge detection and kalman filter. The target object’s representation and the location prediction are the two major aspects for object tracking this can be achieved by using these algorithms. Here real time object tracking is developed through webcam. Experiments show that our tracking algorithm can track moving object efficiently under object deformation, occlusion and can track multiple objects

Keywords: Object Tracking, real time, kalman filter, Prewitt edge detection.
