PTZ camera based position tracking in IP-surveillance system

Tracking people or moving objects across a PTZ camera and maintaining a track within a camera is a challenging task in applications of video surveillance. In this paper we propose a novel object positioning tracking framework, PTZ camera based position tracking system, which is also known as PCTS, can help estimate the position of an object by using camera parameters, pan and tilt. From object motion vector, the relevant information such as time, background and geographic parameters can be recorded in database as well. In the experiment, the change of a person’ position is recorded by the PTZ camera in real time. The PCTS provides a feasible solution for position analysis and security surveillance services in future.
