The Research of Improved Object Tracking Algorithm Based on Camshift

Camshift is a tracking algorithm based on color histogram.It operates on a back-projection image produced from object histogram model.Initialize a search window size and location.Computer information is used previously to adjust current search window size and location,then location center of the object in the current image.The tracking speed is raised by virtue of predicting the position that a moving object arrives at the next time and reducing the search region.The experimental results are given to show that the proposed algorithm can improve object tracking speed even if complex background and irregular motion.
