Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new object tracking system using stereo images to improve the performance of the automatic object tracking system. The existing object tracking system has optimum characteristics, but it requires a lot of computation. In the case of the image with a single eye, the system is difficult to estimate and track for the various transformation of the object. Because the stereo image by both eyes is difficult to estimate the translation and the rotation, this paper deals with the tracking method, which has the ability to track the image for translation for real time, with block matching algorithm in order to decrease the calculation. The experimental results demonstrate the usefulness of proposed system with the recognition rate of 88% in the rotation, 89% in the translation, 88% in various image, and with the mean rate of 88.3%.
