Abstract :
Tracking targets robustly in video sequences is a basic component for several image processing applications, including mosaicing, stabilisation and shape/structure reconstruction from motion. The authors present recent developments of their work on a real-time video tracker, capable of tracking 30-50 feature points at 10-20 frames per second (depending on parameter settings) on a standard PC platform. Examples of tracking results with real mission sequences as well as laboratory tank data are shown. They also illustrate some applications where their real-time tracker has been successfully embedded in larger systems
