Hardware and Software Co-design of the Moving Object Tracking System

In order to establish a comprehensive automatic visual surveillance system, many researches aimed at tracking objects for high-precision and recognized objects for high accuracy. The process of these technologies involves a lot of computation load and even highly complex algorithms to meet the requirement. However, while implementing these technologies for the application in embedded systems or low-end products, the methods can achieve excellent results but also increase the cost of the product which might not meet the requirement of real-time application. In this paper, we focus on another consideration which is expecting to develop a low complexity method to track a moving object on the moving camera. Besides, the proposed tracking system is implemented on the programmable chip (SoPC) by using hardware and software co-design.
