Abstract

The aim of tracking is to detect objects through 
images. This paper focuses on detection of moving objects in a 
scene and tracking of the objects as long as they remain in 
camera view. Initially noise removal and image enhancement is 
carried out. The objects are detected from the supervised 
Euclidean segmentation of the image frames. An object 
recognition algorithm then classifies the segmented objects by 
employing minimum distance classifiers approach, and by 
comparing various length and shape descriptors. Finally, 
object trajectory is generated based on centroid location of 
geometric object. For the case study, we have considered 
tracking of a tennis ball and shown its trajectory after tracking. 
This method assures accurate image segmentation via 
specifying color intensities of the object.  Although median 
based approach gives much better results but it’s rather much 
more expensive. Same case is with Census Transform method 
that is computationally expensive and is complex if multiple 
objects are there per frame.
