ABSTRACT

In this paper, we implement a real-time surveillance monitoring and object tracking system using PTZ(Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera. For object tracking, we use the mean shift tracking algorithm and a modified kernel function based on color image distribution of detected object. Mean shift algorithm is suitable for real-time tracking because of fast and stable performance. In the proposed system, MatLab is used for accessing the PTZ protocol and RS-485 communication for controlling the position of PTZ camera in order to arrange the object in the middle part of the monitor screen in the real-time. This system can be used in an effective and fast image surveillance system for continuous object tracking in a wider area.
