Motion detection and tracking system based on frame analysis and simulated static electric field (SSEF) snake

The entire framework of the motion detection and tracking system is demonstrated in the paper. Series of processes have been developed to perform tracking activities. The system consists of inter frame analysis, estimation of active object region, edge map calculation and thinning, closed contour finding and object extraction with the simulated static electric field (SSE ) snakes. Lots of synthetic and real image sequences (simulate consecutive frames of video) are tested in the tracking system. These image sequences are of different types of cases such as a monochromatic object and a textured object with a complex background, and deformable object with fixed scene.
