Real time implementation of Cubic B-Spline algorithm for Electro Optical Tracking System

Velocity prediction is a crucial task for dynamic object tracking. Over the years many conventional methods have been used for this purpose but their performance remains unsatisfactory in case of jerky motion profile due to their high convergence time. In this paper we have used Cubic B-Spline for velocity prediction for a real time tracking system, which gives a relatively smoother prediction even for a bipolar jerky data. A sub sampled interpolation is used to give a finer resolution for real time tracking.
