Graphical User Interface (GUI) Development for Object Tracking System in Video Sequences

In an intelligent surveillance system, object tracking provides better sense of security using visual information. Hence, the main purpose of this work is to develop an object motion detection system that detected the presence of motion in video sequences. The proposed system employed background modelling and image differential techniques to isolate the motion objects from its background. Additionally, morphology processes are performed to enhance the object pixels that have been extracted so that a more accurate output image that comprised of the detected object can be determined. Subsequently, the plotting method is intentionally developed to denote the object being tracked. Two different approaches were utilized namely, edge detection and boundary box. The plotting process will be updated as the object moves in the video surrounding. In addition, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the system is built to facilitate users to apply the developed system and understand its hierarchy. GUI that acted as the intermediate medium creates a form of communication between users and the developed object detection system. The feasibility and workability of the proposed detection system along with the built GUI is demonstrated throughout the experimental results that clearly detect and track the moving objects in the video sequences recorded in the outdoor environment.
