Abstract

Visual object tracking is a challenging problem in computer vision. To achieve the goal of object tracking we need to obtain a feature vector which is capable of identifying the object to be tracked despite of presence of translation in the view field, at the minimum.The change in scale of the object due to motion along the perpendicular to the line of sight adds to its complexity. In this work we have be able to implement an object tracking system using the MATLAB environment. The system uses the mean shift algorithm, which is based on color channel histogram analysis and the algorithm is modified that it includes the object texture information using the LBP operator. We have been able to enhance the object tracking capability of the system.
