Tracking system using CamShift and feature points

In this paper, we present a new object tracking approach in grey-level image sequences. The method is based on the analysis of the histogram of distribution of the image and the feature points of the object. Among the essential contributions of this work, we can quote a better modelling of the object to track and the consideration of the target appearance changes during the sequence. Our approach is a prolongation of the CamShift algorithm (Continuously Adaptive MeanShift) applications. The goal is to widen the field of application of this algorithm in order to adapt it to grey-level image sequences presenting strong modifications of shape, luminosity and grey-level values.
