Real-Time Object Tracking and Color Detection Using Color Feature  
  Authors : Nikhil Kumar; Deepak Choudhary

 

Computer vision is a growing field in the image processing domain. There are numerous applications associated with this field and it is growing fast. One of the important metric in such field is object detection and tracking. The aim of this paper is to build an object tracking system using colour image processing. There are many methods used for the tracking of a coloured object. One of the novel algorithms for object detection is developed on the basis of all the methods studied. Target object is an object having the user desired colour form and it can be in any shape. As the area here is of colour image processing, the amount of resolution of a camera required is high so that a clear algorithm may be applied to the target object.

A robust and efficient automated single object tracking system is presented. The system has been implemented using an algorithm based on point to point manipulation and color identification. The algorithm has experimentally been shown to be quite accurate and effective in detecting a single moving color object. A novel algorithm for coloured object tracking is proposed herewith using a particular colour model (which is RGB colour model), and it is successfully simulated and verified. The proposed technique can be extended and used in fields like Robotics, Computer Vision, etc.
