Moving Object Tracking in Video Sequences: Moving Object Tracking in Video Sequences through Template Matching, Fast Mean Shift and Kalman Filter

This book is an inclusive introduction to object tracking hierarchy and object tracking techniques with their mathematical background, theoretical aspects, implementation complications, experimental results, accuracy percentage calculation and comparative accuracy percentage estimations. The object tracking techniques studied, implemented and presented are all premeditated in detail and then put into practice. The techniques deliberated and implemented in this book are Template Matching, Fast Mean Shift and Kalman Filter where as for object detection background subtraction through frame differencing is implemented. The tracking methods described in this book do not need any pre-locating trend of grabbing the object by object detection techniques at first.
