Applying Colour Image-Based Indicator for Object Tracking

The goal of the following paper was to devise a method of object tracking with the application of the tracked objects’ coloured images. The proposed solution was based on the calculation of an indicator which described the colour features of the object. The ratio between the red and green components as well as the ratio between red and blue components were the indicators which defined these features. Moreover, the proposed approach was particularly useful in the cases when the object and terrain colours were significantly different. The abovementioned ratios were used to create the pattern vector. Such a defined pattern vector was used to calculate the error function and the minimum of this function indicated the object location. This paper presented the examples of object tracking for both: the different object colour from the terrain colour and the similar object colour to the terrain colour.
