Moving Object Tracking Based on Gaussian Kernel and Template Modelling

The Project presents object tracking from videos based on template matching using Gaussian kernel with probability distribution function and mean shift algorithm. Initially, the target will be selected from chosen video sequence to track desired object in consecutive frames. The target will be utilized to determine the probability distribution function for similarity measurement between target and current processing frames. Here, Gaussian kernel function and its gradient are used here to find the PDF for corresponding templates. Similarity between two different images will be measured by weighted sum of Gaussian coefficients and PDFS. Mean shift approach used here to shifting the starting coordinates of template to find its similar features in consecutive frames to detect desired objects. The dissimilarity between the target model and target candidates will be expressed by a metric derived from Bhattacharyya coefficient. The project simulated results shows that moving object from video will be tracked accurately at different position and shape with help of templates in a considerable amount of time.
