Study and implementation of color-based object tracking in monocular image sequences

Kernel tracking of density-based appearance models is implemented in this paper for real-time object tracking applications. First a ROI, i.e., the region of interest is selected in real-time to create a model. Then the matching and locating of the search object is achieved by using mean-shift algorithm. Experimental results show that this method can find perform object tracking with adaptation to scale and translation, robustness to noise and handling of occlusion.
