Trends in Video Object Tracking in Surveillance: A Survey

With the passage of time, detection and tracking of the object has gained popularity in various applications. Video surveillance is among the most evolved applications of object tracking. It can be defined as process of monitoring the area with the help of camera network employed such that entire area is covered. Any unethical activity can be observed inside the control room and accordingly action can be taken. This paper expounds an extensive study of algorithms and techniques for single and multiple objects tracking specifically in the field of surveillance in recent years. A comparative study has been done and the results have been discussed. Further it has been concluded that a perfect trade-off between robustness, accuracy and computational requirements is required inside the system for real time operation.
