An Object Tracking System for PTZ Cameras Using CAM Shift
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a robust real-time surveillance system of image object tracking for Pan-Tilt-Zoom(PTZ) camera. For image object tracking, we use the CAM shift tracking algorithm based on the HSI color image distribution of detected moving objects. CAM shift algorithm is very efficient for real-time tracking because of its fast and robust performance. In this system, C++ and OpenCV environment are used for image processing and accessing the PTZ protocol and RS-485 communication for controlling the position of PTZ camera in order to arrange the moving object images in the middle part of the monitor screen. This system can be applied to an effective and fast image surveillance system for continuous object tracking in a wider area. Key-Words: Object tracking, PTZ camera, CAM shift algorithm, OpenCV

An Image Tracking System for PTZ Cameras Using OpenCV
In this paper, we implement a real-time surveillance system for image object tracking using PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras. For this, we use the mean shift tracking algorithm based on the color image distribution of detected object. Mean shift algorithm is efficient for real-time tracking because of its fast and stable performance. In this system, OpenCV environment is used for image processing an...

A real-time tracking system with the ability of tracking the moving target using cam-shift algorithm is designed. The basic technique of the stereo vision system is discussed. The architecture, the hardware component and the interface of the tracking system is analyzed. Two digital cameras are fit on the cradle head, and the electric pan/tilt/zoom controller has two independent degrees of freed...
متن کاملCooperative Object Tracking with Multiple PTZ Cameras
Research in visual surveillance systems is shifting from using few stationary, passive cameras to employing large heterogeneous sensor networks. One promising type of sensor in particular is the Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera, which can cover a potentially much larger area than passive cameras, and can obtain much higher resolution imagery through zoom capacity. In this paper, a system that can tra...
متن کاملReal Time Automatic Object Tracking by Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras in an IP-Surveillance System
Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are one of the advanced security cameras in the market. These cameras have the ability to cover a very far field and can acquire high resolution of images. These cameras are deployed mainly for perimeter surveillance applications where the security guards have to monitor the intruders from a long distance. Although there are intrinsic advantages of using pan-tilt-zoo...
متن کاملUsing a Novel Concept of Potential Pixel Energy for Object Tracking
Abstract In this paper, we propose a new method for kernel based object tracking which tracks the complete non rigid object. Definition the union image blob and mapping it to a new representation which we named as potential pixels matrix are the main part of tracking algorithm. The union image blob is constructed by expanding the previous object region based on the histogram feature. The pote...
