This paper presents the active eye system for tracking a moving object in 3D space. A prototype system able to track a moving object is designed and implemented. The mechanical system ables the control of platform that consists of binocular camera and also the control of the vergence angle of each camera by step motor. Each camera has two degrees of freedom. The image features of the object are extracted from complicated environment by using zero disparity filtering(ZDF). From the cnetroid of the image features the gaze point on object is calculated and the vergence angle of each camera is controlled by step motor. The Proposed method is implemented on the prototype with robust and fast calculation time.

In this paper, we propose that fast tracking algorithm for moving object is separated from background, using partial boundary line information. After detecting boundary line from input image, we track moving object by using the algorithm which takes boundary line information as feature of moving object. we extract moving vector on the imput image which has environmental variation, using high-performance BMA, and we extract moving object on the basis of moving vector. Next, we extract boundary line on the moving object as an initial feature-vector generating step for the moving object. Among those boundary lines, we consider a part of the boundary line in every direction as feature vector. And then, as a step for the moving object, we extract moving vector from feature vector generated under the information of the boundary line of the moving object on the previous frame, and we perform tracking moving object from the current frame. As a result, we show that the proposed algorithm using feature vector generated by each directional boundary line is simple tracking operation cost compared with the previous active contour tracking algorithm that changes processing time by boundary line size of moving object. The simulation for proposed algorithm shows that BMA operation is reduced about 39% in real image and tracking error is less than 2 pixel when the size of feature vector is [$10{\times}5$] using the information of each direction boundary line. Also the proposed algorithm just needs 200 times of search operation bout processing cost is varies by the size of boundary line on the previous algorithm.

This paper proposes a robust method for object tracking based on Kalman filters algorithm and covariance matrix. As a feature of the object to be tracked, covariance matrix ensures the continuity of the moving target tracking in the image frames because the covariance is addressed spatial and statistical properties as well as the correlation properties of the features, despite the changes of the form and shape of the target. However, if object moves faster than operation time, real time tracking is difficult. In order to solve the problem, Kalman filters are used to estimate the area of the moving object and covariance matrices as a feature vector are compared with candidate regions within the estimated Kalman window. The results show that the tracking rate of 96.3% achieved using the proposed method.

A moving object tracking algorithm for image searching based on specific color detection is proposed in this paper. That is preprocessed for a luminance variation and noise cancellation to be robust system. The motion tracking is used the difference between input image and reference image in R, G, B each channels for a moving image. The proposed method is enhanced to 15% fast in comparison with the contour tracking method and the matching method, and stable.

In recent years there have been increasing interests in real-time object tracking with image information. Since image information is affected by illumination, this paper presents the real-time object tracking method based on neural networks which have robust characteristics under various illuminations. This paper proposes three steps to track the object and the fast tracking method. In the first step the object color is extracted using neural networks. In the second step we detect the object feature information based on invariant moment. Finally the object is tracked through a shape recognition using neural networks. To achieve the fast tracking performance, this paper first has a global search of entire image and tracks the object through local search when the object is recognized.

This paper proposes new algorithms for the estimation of displacement vector and moving object extraction using difference picture. First, the relations between the boundary of moving objects in two consecutive image and the boundary of difference picture regions are analyzed, then displacement vector estimation algorithm is proposed. Using the estimated displacement vector, moving objects are directly extracted from difference picture. Since the proposed algorithms do not process gray-valued image, they have a short processing time and are suitable to real time processing. From the experimental results, we observed that, if difference picture is wel extracted, the proposecd algorithms work well even in the circumstances of complex background, fast or slow motion, rotation etc., including occlusion where is not moving area.

A developed skill of an intelligent CCTV is also advancing by using its Image Acquisition Device. The most important part in the field of detecting comparatively fast moving objects is to effectively reduce the loads on updating the background image in order to achieve real-time update. However, the ability of the current general-purpose computer extracting the texture as characteristics has limits in application mostly due to the loads on processes. In this thesis, an algorithm for real-time updating the background image in an applied area such as detecting the fast moving objects like a driving car in a video of at least 30 frames per second is suggested and the performance is analyzed by a test of extracting object region from real input image.

In this study an image processing system is designed and developed, which can detect and assort some defects on the surface of an object moving with high speed. For real time surface detection of high speed moving object, the fast processing should be managed and the image information including some surface features should be captured. It is difficult to acquire the noise free image due to various light sources and high speed moving materials under the environment of the general industrial site. In general, because pre-processing methods are employed for getting a noise free feature, the image processing speed has some limitation and the expensive image processing devices are required. This...

In this paper, since we currently using surveillance system of analog type bring about waste of resource and efficiency deterioration problems, we describe new solution that design and implementation to the digital surveillance system of new type applying compression techniques and encoding techniques of image data using MPEG-2 international standard. Also, we proposed fast motion estimation algorithm requires much less than the convectional digital surveillance camera system. In this paper a fast motion estimation algorithm is proposed the MPEG-2 video encoding. This algorithm is based on a hybrid use of the block matching technique and gradient technique. Also, we describe a method of moving object extraction directly using MPEG-2 video data. Since proposed method is very simple and requires much less computational power than the conventional object detection methods. In this paper we don't use specific H/W and this system is possible only software encoding, decoding and transmission real-time for image data.
