Recognition and tracking system of moving objects based on artificial neural network and PWM control

We developed a recognition and tracking system of moving objects. The system consists of one CCD video camera, two DC motors in horizontal and vertical axles with encoders, pluse width modulation(PWM) driving unit, 16 bit NEC 9801 microcomputer, and their interfaces. The recognition and tracking system is able to recognize shape and size of a moving object and is able to track the object within a certain range of errors. This paper presents the brief introduction of the recognition and tracking system developed in our laboratory.
