  • Abstract
    In this paper, a system which tracks a person autonomously is developed as an example of a visual servoing system. This system is controlled automatically to keep a constant distance between the system itself and the candidate person. The hardware active contour model is designed to extract an object and is realized by using FPGA. The developed system is demonstrated in real environments.
