Visual target tracking and extraction from a sequence of images

Presents a methodology for visually tracking and extracting targets from a sequence of images (video). The methodology presented in this paper consists of a combination of algorithms, such as heuristic segmentation, edge detection, thinning, region growing, fractals, feature extraction, graphs with attributes, etc., appropriately selected according to the existing situation, such as moving target/still camera, still target/moving camera and moving target/moving camera. The new contribution of this paper is the combination of algorithms in a human-like feedback geometric approach for processing low-resolution information from consecutive images. Simulated results of the methodology are presented
