An Image Tracking System for PTZ Cameras Using OpenCV
نویسنده
چکیده
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 and C is used for accessing the PTZ protocol and RS-485 communication for controlling the position of PTZ camera in order to arrange the moving objects 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: Image object tracking, PTZ camera, OpenCV, Mean shift algorithm

An Object Tracking System for PTZ Cameras Using CAM Shift
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 env...

Face detection is a very challenging and interesting problem. In this paper, we discussed an application for automatic face detection and tracking on video streams from surveillance cameras in public or commercial places. In many situations it is useful to detect where the people are looking for, e.g. in exhibits, commercial malls, and public places in buildings. So prototype is designed to wor...
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 کاملTracking Multiple People with Multiple Cameras
In this paper we present a robust real-time method for tracking multiple people from multiple cameras. Our method uses both static and Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras. The static cameras are used to locate people in the scene, while the PTZ cameras “lock-on” to the individuals and provide visual attention. The system provides consistency in tracking between PTZ cameras and works reliably well when ...
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...
