Moving Object Detection and Tracking Using Matlab

Abstract

Object tracking is the process of locating moving objects in the consecutive video frames. Real time object tracking is a challenging problem in the field of computer vision, motion-based recognition, automated surveillance, traffic monitoring, augmented reality and object based video compression etc. Performance at higher level is greatly depends on accurate performance of object detection. Various platforms are being used for designing and implementation of object detection algorithm. It includes C programming, MATLAB and Simulink, open cv etc. Among these, MATLAB programming is most popular due to its extensive features. These features include data processing using matrix, set of toolboxes and Simulink blocks covering all technology fields, easy programming. This project presents the implementation of object detection and tracking using MATLAB.
