Real time object tracking for high performance system using GPGPU

Real time object tracking is the process of locating moving objects over time using the camera in video sequences in real time. The objective of object tracking is to associate target objects in consecutive video frames. Object tracking requires location and shape or features of objects in the video frames. Every tracking algorithm needs to detect moving object. So object detection is the preceding step of object tracking in computer vision applications. After that, detected object can be extracted by the feature of moving object to track that moving object into video scene. It is challenging task in image processing to track the objects into consecutive frames. Various challenges can arise due to complex object motion, irregular shape of object, occlusion of object to object and object to scene and real time processing requirements. Object tracking has a variety of uses, some of which are: surveillance and security, traffic monitoring, video communication, robot vision and animation.
