Research on the Method of Tracking and Measuring Moving Object Based on Machine Vision

Aiming at the problem of tracking moving object under complex background, a new method is proposed, which is based on machine vision. This method takes advantage of image analysis technology to detect the profile of specified moving object and compute its center. According to the center of moving object in the several previous frame image, predict the possible center in the next frame. Take this predicted center as the input to compute the real center in the next frame. Making this process again and again, ultimately, the moving object´s position in every frame is obtained, so that the aim of tracking moving object is achieved. Experimental results are shown here to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
