Object tracking for a panning stereo vision system

The visual tracking for the moving object is presented in this paper. The position of the object in the real world coordinate could be obtained by the pixel distance in the stereo images. The position of the object in the camera coordinate is relative to the rotation angle of the stereo camera module so the position of the object is changed when the stereo camera module rotates. Therefore the rotating angle of the camera module can be derived from this change. Through the procedures, the visual tracking for the moving object is performed in this paper. With the determined target object position and the calculated camera module rotation angle, the experiment is performed and the results are shown in the experiment.
